There really is nothing quite like the spectacle of the Magic Fountain at the foot of Montjuïc in Barcelona. As vibrant geysers light up the sky with a splash of color, perfectly-timed music and some seriously artistic engineering, it’s difficult not to get caught up in the wonder of it all. This dancing water display is truly enchanting and undoubtedly one of the highlights of a visit to Barcelona. A Grand and Daring Design Originally drawn up as a focal piece for the 1929 Universal Exhibition of Barcelona, the Magic Fountain was initially deemed as too risky and complicated a construction for the event. But architect Carles Buigas eventually got his way and with the help of 3000 workers his ‘colocolossal, daring and costly’ design was seen through and was unveiled on the 19th of May that year. This masterpiece of course delighted and amazed its spectators and continues to do so even today. Unfortunately, the Font Màgica de Montjuïc became damaged during the Spanish Civil War, fell into disrepair and was out of use from 1955 until the 1970s. Thankfully however, the fountain was meticulously restored and even given an extra makeover for the 1992 Olympic Games. The addition of music gave Barcelona’s Magic Fountain an even greater theatrical presence alongside its 3,620 dancing jets of water and today many different choreographic spectacles using a variety of music, ranging from classical and film soundtracks to Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé’s legendary song ‘Barcelona’, make up the weekend and evening shows.
