The Plaça d'Espanya is a busy square located at the foot of the Montjuïc Hill. For centuries the site was used for public hangings until the gallows were moved to the Ciutadella in 1715. The current square was created for the 1929 World Exhibition. It was designed in 1925 by the architect Josep Amargós, and was only completed four years later, just in time for the exhibition. Another architect, Josep Maria Jujol designed a large fountain at the center of the square. His modernist style is clearly influenced by Gaudí. The sculptures adorning the fountain were created by the Spanish sculptor Miguel Blay Fabregas.
