Francesc Daniel Molina i Casamajó

Francesc Daniel Molina i Casamajó (Vic, 1812–Barcelona, 5 July 1867) was a Spanish architect.

He completed his early studies at Escola de la Llotja,[note 1] an art and design school in Barcelona.

The monument was completed in 1856 and it is known as the Font del Geni Català [ca],[note 6] a historic fountain built in the neoclassical style and located in the Pla de Palau [es][note 7] square in Barcelona.

It is considered the traditional Spanish main square, with its Elizabethan-style façades and arcaded ground floor, in the same style as the façade of the Teatre Principal,[note 8] after his restoration following a fire in 1845.

[1][8] He served as the council architect of Barcelona in 1855,[3] succeeding Josep Mas i Vila [ca].
