Amb motiu de l’Exposici\u00f3 Internacional de 1929 Josep Maria Jujol va dissenyar una font monumental que representa una al\u00b7legoria po\u00e8tica a Espanya simbolitzada pels quatre grans rius que desemboquen als mars que voregen la pen\u00ednsula. El monument recorda a una font barroca formada per una base i un cos central on la decoraci\u00f3 escult\u00f2rica, obra de diversos autors, destaca les tend\u00e8ncies estil\u00edstiques del moment: Miquel Blay de car\u00e0cter classicista, els germans Osl\u00e9 que s’apropen\u00a0al noucentisme, i Frederic Llobet a l’art d\u00e9co.<\/p>\n
Les dues torres de planta quadrada i 44 metres d\u2019al\u00e7ada es van concebre com la porta d\u2019entrada a l\u2019Exposici\u00f3 Internacional de Barcelona i estan inspirades en el campanar de la catedral de Sant Marc de Ven\u00e8cia (d\u2019aqu\u00ed ve el seu nom). Fidels als principis arquitect\u00f2nics del moment, es van construir amb pedra artificial i obra vista, materials poc nobles per\u00f2 coherents amb la voluntat de ser enderrocades un cop acabada l\u2019Exposici\u00f3.<\/p>\n
