| dc.description | Palau Sant Jordi, looking southwest across the Plaza de Europa; The Anella Olímpica (English: Olympic Ring) is an Olympic Park located in the hill of Montjuïc, Barcelona, that was the main site for the 1992 Summer Olympics. The major facilities consist of the Olympic Stadium, (Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys), the Palau Sant Jordi sports hall, the telecommunications tower designed by Santiago Calatrava, the National Physical Education Institute (INEFC) and the swimming pools (Piscines Bernat Picornell). The original plan was designed around the main square (Plaza de Europa) and the olympic stadium. Rational and minimal, it is linked to water trough pools and a transversal canal. Tubular lamps are dispersed in the "Anella" and echoed in an ensemble of concrete and steel tubes, the elegant sculpture near Isozaki Arata´s Palau Sant Jordi.
