Magic Fountain of Montjuïc

The magic Fountain of Montjuic is a wonderful colorful fountain in Barcelona. It is an enchanting show that crowds of people gather to watch. Montjuic is dedicated to the World's Fair, which was held here during 1929-1930.

A little more than 3 thousand people were engaged in the construction of the fountain. This factor, as well as timely financing, allowed the fountain to be completed in a short period of time. The very first performance of the magic fountain in Barcelona falls on May 19th, exactly one day before the grand opening of the long-awaited exhibition.

The fountain was seriously damaged during the Civil War, but it was not rebuilt until 1955. The fountain received musical accompaniment only in 1980, and it lit up with bright lights only in 1992, when preparations were underway for the Olympic Games.

The modern Montjuic fountain is a structure, the components of which are numerous nozzles from which jets of water flow out, as well as a large number of multi-colored light bulbs, with the help of which this structure burns with multi-colored lights. What could be better: the splashing of water, the sound of music and bright colors. Of course, this show attracts a large number of viewers who come from all over the world. Every year, the magic fountain of Montjuic attracts about 2.5 million tourists.

The music that this landmark creates is quite diverse. Here you can hear motifs from familiar movies, for example, the world film "Titanic", as well as "The Lord of the Rings" or "Gladiator", classical motifs are also very often heard here, as well as world modern hits.

Numerous streams of water dance to this melody, changing shape, intertwining or scattering.

The fountain, which is located on Montjuic Mountain, is also called "Dancing". This name was attached to him thanks to the streams of water moving to the music. Guests of this area also cannot stand still from the motifs of cheerful music and dance to the beat of the fountain. Montjuic is a favorite destination for both adults and children.

This show is very popular in this country and you need to hurry to the beginning of the performance to get a comfortable seat.
