This fountain still works, and is used as a backdrop for the famous Plaça d'Espanya, which was also built for the world's fair. "The famous Magic Fountain of Montjuïc, designed by Carles Buïgas, was constructed in 1929 on Avinguda Maria Cristina at the foot of Montjuic,[3] and amazed the public with its light and water displays. Today, it is still an emblem of the Catalonian capital, and musical lightshows are often performed there during the annual festival of La Mercè, as well as during every weekend. It enchants the public with a backdrop of the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. Originally, four columns were built in this location by Puig i Cadafalch to represent the Catalan flag, but these were removed by President Primo de Rivera's orders."
