Placa d'Espanya is the gateway to the park of Montjuic, the setting for the 1992 Olympic Games and the 1929 International Exhibition. The trade fair pavilions stand behind the two Venetian Towers and are overlooked by the majestic Palau Nacional. The Magin Fountain of Montjuic should be admired at night when the lighting effect combined with the water is at its best. Montjuic hill with its large green areas and the leisure and sporting facilities available has become one of Barcelona's most appealing spots. As well as the variety of its attractions, Montjuic is also a strategic panoramic point.
