This square designed by Puig i Cadafalch is where Montjuïc mountain meets the Sants and Poble-sec districts. Lying at the intersection of some of Barcelona’s most important streets is Plaça d’Espanya, the gateway to Montjuïc constructed for the 1929 Universal Exposition that was partially inspired by Saint Peter's Square in the Vatican. In the centre there is a monumental fountain designed by Josep Maria Jujol, a disciple of Gaudí, called the Font dels Tres Mars (Fountain of the Three Seas), symbolising the three seas surrounding the Iberian peninsula.
