National Palace of Barcelona
The Palau Nacional, the most spectacular building in the Spain Square, was erected for the Universal Exposition of 1929, as were a lot of other buildings in Montjuïc.
The intention was to build a monumental, grandiose and enormous building; the architects were Enric Català and Pedro Cendoya, with the collaboration of Pere Domènech i Roure.
The palace was restored some years ago by the Italian architect Gae Aulenti, and now houses the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC).
