Catalunya en miniatura is a miniature park inaugurated in 1983 in Torrelles de Llobregat, 17 km from Barcelona. With 60.000 square meters, 35.000 of them devoted to the scale models, it is one of the largest miniature parks in the world, and the largest of the 14 miniature building exhibitions present in Europe. It displays 147 models of palaces, churches, bridges and other buildings from Catalonia and Majorca and it includes all the major works by the renowned architect Antoni Gaudí.
How to get there from Barcelona
Tip: this attraction is next to El Bosc Animat -in fact a combined ticket can be purchased- so it might be also worth to visit.
