Places to see on Plaza Espanya
Plaza España is one of the most important places in Barcelona. Gateway to the Magic Fountain of Montjuic and a major transport hub. It’s one of the biggest touristic places of the city, featuring many attractions and places of interest.
Things to do in Plaza Espanya:
- Magic Fountain of Montjuic
Magic Fountain is one of the greatest shows in town. A beautiful display of water, lights and music and a free entrance. It’s one of the highlights in Plaza España.
- Arenas de Barcelona
A former bullring left to oblivion, Arenas de Barcelona was turned into a modern shopping centre, while retaining the original facade on the outside. Besides the large array of shops and restaurants, there is a high profile gym, a cinema and the terrace on the rooftop overlooking the square.
- Catalan Art Museum
Museum was originally built for the 1929 Exhibition as well, and today it displays a large amount of Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque and Renaissance collections, definitely one of the best museums in Barcelona
- Poble Espanyol
Poble Espanyol is an open air museum of Spanish architecture, reproducing famous buildings and streets from all over Spain, all packed in the same location. The museum is filled with typical Spanish handcrafts stores, souvenirs, and from time to time, concerts and exhibitions.
- Caixa Forum
Finally, this art museum features exhibits ranging from classic paintings, to avant garde installations. It also hosts music concerts and alternative cinema. It was designed by architect Arata Isosaki.
