The park took approximately two years to design and construct before its inaugural opening in 1983.
The miniature Sagrada Família model was crafted by over 10 people and took more than 13,000 hours to build.

The park features a miniature railway system that operates across several of the displays.

Catalunya en Miniatura is an outdoor permanent exhibition located in Torrelles de Llobregat, featuring over 145 scale models of architectural landmarks from Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. The park covers approximately 60,000 square meters, with the miniature area itself spanning 25,000 square meters. Models are primarily constructed at a 1:25 scale and feature famous structures including the Sagrada Família, the Cathedral of Tarragona, and various Romanesque churches. It is one of the largest miniature parks in the world and serves as an educational resource regarding Catalan cultural heritage. The site also incorporates an adventure park with zip-lining circuits and high-rope courses integrated into the surrounding forest canopy. The paths are designed to mimic a topographical route, allowing visitors to walk through a compressed version of the region's geography.
