Plaza de Espana

  Plaza de España sits at the edge of Montjuïc in Barcelona, serving as a major hub for both locals and visitors. Built for the 1929 International Exposition, this expansive square is notable for its grand semicircular building, the Palau Nacional, which houses the National Art Museum of Catalonia. Dominating the plaza is the towering Venetian Towers, each reaching 47 meters in height, providing a striking viewpoint. Visitors can stroll through the picturesque fountains and gardens, especially vibrant during the spring months of April and May. As you explore, don’t miss the opportunity to see the monumental sculpture of Cervantes and the surrounding mosaic tiles that reflect Catalonia’s rich artistic heritage.
