Barcelona with children

Catalunya en Miniatura is a unique and fascinating place to visit especially with children but also for adults of all age groups. It is the biggest touristic and cultural complex in miniature in the world and it displays all the famous monuments, building and places Catalunya has to offer.

All pieces are carefully designed and build in a scale of 1:25 of its original and it takes time, precision and lots of patience to complete a new work. The first phase is the planning of the model, followed by constructing the walls of the building and putting decorations such as handrails, balustrades etc. Next the piece is painted from the inside and the outside to guarantee the best possible protection and it is then placed on a platform on top of a brick foundation that has especially been constructed for the new building. Finally, the surroundings are decorated by gardening and little details such as cars, people, etc to recreate a unique and original atmosphere.
