Below: views of the resurrected copy of 'Las Cuatro Columnas' by Josep Puig i Cadafalch behind the Magic Fountain on Montjuic hill. The monument was originally erected in 1919 as a tribute to the four stripes on the Catalan flag. The columns were designed by the architect Puig i Cadafalch and were intended to symbolize the four bars of the Senyera, the Catalan flag.
