Font Magica is a huge fountain, which was built at the bottom of the Montjuic hill to make the World Exhibition in 1929 even more attractive.The main designer was Carles Buigas. Unfortunately, after years of use the fountain and the grounds around became more and more neglected. In 1992 on the occasion of the upcoming Olympic Games fountain was restored to the original splendor. Nowadays the fountain is one of the most impressive touristic attractions of Barcelona. Lots of people go to Montjuic to see the marvelous spectacle from water, light and classical music. Watching this gives a feeling of seeing pure magic, like in a Disney movies.

The Palau was originally the Spanish Pavilion of the World Exhibition of 1929. After intensive renovation it was reopened in 1997. The museum collected total of more than 260,000 objects of art and thus is certainly the largest and most significant museum in Barcelona. Through a Catalonian Museum-Act, the Museum MNAC was founded in 1990 by the merger of the Museu d'Art de Catalunya (Romantic, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque) and the Museu d'Art Modern (art of the 19th and 20th centuries).
