Poble Espanyol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spanish Town (Catalan: Poble espanyol) is an outdoors museum located on the mountain of Montjuïc in the city of Barcelona, Spain.
It was constructed in 1929 for the World's Fair that was held in Barcelona that year. Josep Puig i Cadafalch was the one who had the idea for the museum: a town in which the architecture, style, and culture of various locations from all around Spain were all preserved in a single place. The museum occupies a total area of 42,000 m² or about 138,000 ft².
