These twin towers on Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina welcome visitors to Barcelona’s conference and trade show centers plus lead toward the Magic Fountain and the National Art Museum of Catalonia. They resemble the iconic landmark in Piazzetta di San Marco in Venice. Yet, at 154 feet, they are about half the height of St. Mark’s Campanile. They were created by Ramon Raventós in order to impress the attendees of the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition.
