Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium
Highlight • Monument
It was designed by the architect Pere Domènech i Roura and inaugurated in 1929 on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition of Barcelona. In 1957 it hosted the only final of the Spanish Football Cup that has pitted Futbol Club Barcelona and Real Club Deportiu Espanyol, the two most important teams in Barcelona. In the sixties it was underused and its bleachers began to show worrying signs of ruin.
It was reopened in 1989 for the Athletics World Cup, three years before the Games, and witnessed the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1992 Olympic Games.
The celebration of the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona allowed it to be remodeled by the Correa-Milà-Margarit-Buixadé team of architects and with the participation of the Italian Gregotti. It was completely renovated to host the Barcelona'92 Olympic Games, retaining only the façade and the two sculptures of horsemen by Pau Gargallo. It was emptied, and the level of the track was lowered and only the exterior façades were preserved and new bleachers were erected with a total capacity of 56,000 spectators. It is part of the Olympic Ring which, on the occasion of the 1992 Olympic Games, was built around this stadium, formed by the Picornell swimming pools, the Palau Sant Jordi and other facilities.

Font de Ceres, Plaça de Sant Jordi
Highlight • Monument
The beginning of its history began outside the current city, the first source was located in the old Vila de Gràcia, when it had not yet been annexed by Barcelona. Its location was on the old Camí de Jesús, which was later urbanized with the current name of Passeig de Gràcia, changing the old dirt road into a promenade that made it much more passable especially in winter .
In 1824 the Marquis of Campo Sagrado (Captain General of Catalonia), authorized the project to develop the path and which consisted of making a 42 meter wide promenade and strengthening the firm, a year after completion it was installed Gas lighting in the promenade. The promenade was officially opened in 1827, this was the starting point, for important men to try to set up their private homes, in single-family houses with gardens.
The transformation of the area made it necessary to decorate the promenade to give it a more sumptuous touch, so the authorities decided to install a fountain with a central sculpture at the intersection with Provence street, so they put in contact with the Iguala sculptor Celdoni Guixà i Alsina (who also made the plaque that adorned the balcony of the town hall with the title "Plaça de la Constitució" and which was removed in 2013). The fountain was inaugurated on July 28, 1830.
