The fountains of Montjuïc’s first performance was on May 19th 1929 during the Great Universal Exhibition. Carles Buigas designed the plans for the fountains which many thought were too ambitious to be created but less than a year later, with the help of over 3000 workers the fountians had come to life.

The  famous water, light and music show takes place at the foot of the Montjuic mountain in a beautiful setting with views of the spectacular Palau Nacional with staircases and fountains running all the way down to Plaza Espanya.

The show includes a mix of music from Beethoven and Vivaldi to Queen and Freddy Mercury. The jets of water, music and lights combine to make an entertaining show which is a great way to spend a warm evening in Barcelona.
