En
1929, Barcelona inaugurated the Estadi Olímpic de Montjuic
in its bid for the 1932 Olympic Games. Over 50 years later,
Catalán architects Federic Correa and Alfons Milà
renovated the shell with the help of Italian architect Vittorio
Gregotti.

“Barcelona
organised a superb Olympic Games and emerged as a welcoming
and open city. The spirit of this great sporting event goes
perfectly with the warm, hospitable tradition of this Mediterranean
city.”.
Words
of the then mayor of Barcelona, Pasqual Maragall
|
|
The
mascot for the Games was Cobi the dog, designed by Xavier
Mariscal and inspired in the sheepdogs of the Pyrenees. The
logotype was created by Josep Maria Trias. The four official
posters of the Games were the work of Xavier Mariscal, J.
M. Trias, Enric Satué and Antoni Tàpies.

|
|
The
citizens of Barcelona joined in the spirit of the Games adorning
windows, terraces and balconies overlooking the streets and
squares of the entire city without exception: the old city,
the centre and upper part of the city came together in a single
manifestation of feeling that unified all Barcelonans.

To
the ’92 Games, and to all the people and institutions
that gave themselves wholly to their city we owe the worldwide
prestige of Barcelona as a cultured, welcoming and vanguard
city.

|
The most moving moment in the opening ceremony
was the lighting of the Olympic fire at the stadium with a
flaming arrow shot by archer Antonio Rebollo.

Fonts Luminoses (Font Mágica) -
The illuminated Fountains dominated by the huge central Font
Mágica, are visible from Pl. Espanya up to Av. Reina
María Cristina.

During the summer, they are used in a weekend
music and laser show that illuminates the mountainside and the
Palau Nacional, behind the fountains. This spectacular show
usually draws the attention of thousand of visitors, and its
worth it!! |
