Inspired by the bell tower of St Mark&#8217;s in Venice, they mark the entrance to the Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina and the Montju\u00efc grounds, and offer one of the most iconic images of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"jujol-fountain\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Decorated with allegorical sculptures representing the rivers and seas of the Iberian Peninsula, along with motifs of religion, culture and abundance, it&#8217;s one of the great sculptural works of the 1929 Exhibition and a popular photo spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"mnac\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

As well as housing one of the world&#8217;s finest collections of Romanesque art, the museum and its grand staircase offer some of the best panoramic views of Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"magic-fountain\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Enjoy the Magic Fountain of Montju\u00efc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between the square and the MNAC is the famous <strong>Magic Fountain of Montju\u00efc<\/strong>, conceived by the engineer and lighting designer Carles Bu\u00efgas for the 1929 Exhibition. It stars in a free evening show of water, light, colour and music that&#8217;s one of the most popular in Barcelona. The schedule is seasonal and can change, so it&#8217;s worth checking before you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"avenue\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.
