The Poble Espanyol (literally, Spanish town) is an open-air architectural museum in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, approximately 400 metres (1,300 ft) away from the Fountains of Montjuïc. Built for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, the museum consists of 117 full-scale buildings replicated from different places in Spain, joined forming a small town recreating urban atmospheres of disparate places with different architectures. It also contains a theater, restaurants, artisan workshops, and a museum of contemporary art.
