Poble Espanyol de Palma, Architectural museum in Palma, Spain.
Poble Espanyol de Palma is an open-air museum with over two hundred replicas of traditional Spanish buildings and monuments from different regions. The structures represent various architectural styles and building methods found across the country.
The museum opened in 1967 with the goal of gathering Spanish architectural heritage in one accessible location. The project emerged from a desire to preserve and showcase traditional Spanish building forms for future generations.
Artisans work in open workshops throughout the grounds, demonstrating pottery, glasswork, and textile production using methods passed down for centuries. Walking through, you encounter craftspeople actively engaged in their trades rather than just viewing finished pieces.
The grounds cover a large area, so wear comfortable shoes and plan for several hours to explore thoroughly. Shaded rest areas and refreshment options are scattered throughout to help you pace your visit comfortably.
The replicas are reconstructed with period-appropriate details and building techniques specific to each region they represent. This approach lets you see regional differences in Spanish construction methods up close without traveling across the country.
