The museum was conceived as a space that showcased the main character\u00edstics, peculiarities, and architecture used in different regions of Spain. A way to have a small-sized version of Spain inside of Catalonia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Four modernist artists\u00a0visited 1600 locations in order to get familiar with each place&#8217;s architectural style and traditions before starting the project. It took one year and one month for\u00a0<strong>Poble Espanyol<\/strong> to be built. The initial idea was to have it destroyed after the International Exposition was over but the attraction had such success that it remains up and running until this day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/fun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fun in Sants-Montju\u00efc<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_see_and_do_at_the_Poble_Espanyol\"><\/span>What to see and do at the Poble Espanyol<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Poble Espanyol<\/strong> is the perfect place to spend a day with your family, partner or friends.
