This picture of the Placa d'Espanya was taken from the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC).

The Plaça d'Espanya was laid out for the 1929 Internacional Exhibition. The imposing fountain in the centre, with its three bronze sculptures representing trade, industry, and shipping, are by Josep Maria Jujol, a versatile artist and invaluable associate of Gaudí's. The two Venetian towers, which flank the Avenida Maria Cristina, mark the entrance of the trade-fair site.
