This is the most spectacular building in Plaça Espanya and was built for the 1929 Universal Exposition, as were a lot of buildings in Montjuïc. The aim was to build a monumental, grandiose, enormous structure. The architects were Enric Català and Pedro Cendoya, with the collaboration of Pere Domènech i Roure. The Palace was restored some years ago by Italian architect Gae Aulenti and now houses the Museu Nacional de Arte de Catalunya (MNAC).
