Venetian Towers - Barcelona, Spain - Permanent World Fair and Expo Structures on Waymarking.com

Sorry for not getting a good shot of the towers. There was extensive restoration on them when I visited them in Abril of 2014. This Wikipedia entry is in English. "The Venetian Towers (in Catalan: Torres Venecianes) is the popular name for a pair of towers on Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina at its junction with Plaça d'Espanya in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. There is one tower on either side of the street. The towers are 47m high, with a 7.2 meters square cross-section. The bottom section of each is built of artificial stone, the main section of red brick, and the top section is a colonnaded viewing gallery built of artificial stone, and topped by a pyramidal copper roof. They were modelled on the campanile of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. They were designed by architect Ramon Reventós and built in the period 1927 to 1929, as part of the redevelopment of the area for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition. Reventós was also involved in a number of other projects featured in the exhibition, such as the Greek Theatre (Teatre Grec) and the Spanish Village (Poble Espanyol) on the nearby hill of Montjuïc."
