The color music fountain in the square in front of the National Palace, which is located on Mount Montjuic. The fountain was built in 1929 for the World Exhibition, renovated and updated in 1992 in preparation for the Olympics. The lighting system of the structure (about 5,000 light sources in 3,600 water flows) creates interesting visual illusions during operation, which is why the fountain was nicknamed “magic”.

Plaça de Carles Buïgas, Barcelona

The magic fountain is something much recommended to everyone. I didn’t have much expectation, but it surprised me how thorough it all was and how beautiful it looks. Remember to not stand next to it if you want the best views, go further up.

Great fountain show with music and colored lights along with other cascading fountains - an hour long show from 9:30pm to 10:30pm, until end of Sept - much better than the Bellagio in Las Vegas or the one in Dubai

Water show taking place in Barcelona. Night lighting is also very successful. That view is mesmerizing. At the same time, the waters dance according to the sound of music.

Read more » view of most of the city from this elevated location which gets equally complimented with a park and stepped water stream in lights, filling the fountain with water is truly magical. The magic fountain show is really fantastic. It is held on Fridays and Saturdays from 20:00 to 21:00. I suggest getting there a little bit earlier since there are always so many people. Or go there a little later around 20:30 as some people only come, take one or two photos and leave. The best place to enjoy the fountain show is on the cross-street bridge, not in the front of the fountain. Usually there is huge crowd, but it is a must-see experience. It is very important that you look ahead to the schedule, because the fountain doesn't make this show always. We were in the evening and I see many people rushing to the show, also one have to be safe and conscious. Well worth visiting this place when you visit Barcelona.
