Campanópolis is located just 25 miles from the bustling city center of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. But as soon as visitors step on the grounds, they’re transported to a wacky world where the medieval coexists with the nostalgic and where half-finished buildings stand as a memorial to the park’s enigmatic founder and designer.

Theme park

Normal has no place in Campanópolis, an eclectic and enjoyably bizarre medieval theme park in Buenos Aires province. Some of the buildings’ roofs in this nearly 50-acre village are made from doors of all shapes and materials. Awnings cloak the interior of another room. There are dozens of windows inside some rooms, each one unlike the rest, forming a strange collage.

Cobblestones, iron sculptures and marble fountains share the streets with traffic lights – none of which are actually directing traffic. A couple of actors, impersonating medieval countrymen, greet you.

This unusual place is filled with fantasy. Getting lost in the park is part of the fun.

There are more than 40 buildings and museums to keep visitors curious and engaged throughout their visit. Medieval architecture and art styles abound. Grand and tall gothic buildings sweep towards the sky, adorned with pointed arches. Stained glass windows of religious figures let light shine through the rooms.

Yet, the park is also infused with modern details, sure to arouse as much nostalgia as surprise. Visitors might come across objects that they knew in their childhood, such as jars from the milkman, in an unforeseen context.

The stocks, one of the main attractions, are in the center of the square. There, two actors embody a couple from the Middle Ages and invite tourists to place their head and hands inside. 

Are you curious yet? Campanopolis awaits you!
