Discover the architectural diversity of Spain over 49,000 m2 and full-scale replicas of 117 buildings

The Poble Espanyol, conceived as a real village, is a selection of full-scale replicas of buildings from different parts of the Peninsula.

It was conceived for visitors to enjoy an open-air Spanish architectural museum while strolling around its squares, streets and gardens.

The Poble Espanyol was built in 1929 for the Barcelona International Exhibition as the pavilion dedicated to art. Right from the start, it was conceived as a real “village” in the heart of a city.
