History of Puy du Fou Toledo in a nutshell

Puy du Fou Toledo is an exciting sister park to the renowned Puy du Fou in France. The captivating Puy du Fou story originates from France. In 1977, two visionary Frenchmen conceived an extraordinary idea to honor their region's history, giving birth to the spectacular nighttime show ‘Cinescenie’. This mesmerizing production beautifully portrayed over 600 years of local history through an enchanting combination of lights and sounds. The immense success of this show served as the catalyst for the establishment of the Puy du Fou theme park in 1989, offering visitors delightful daily shows.

Fast forward to 2021, and Puy du Fou sets its sights on Spain! Puy du Fou Toledo takes inspiration from its French counterpart, and offers historical immersion through shows, themed villages, and more. It is committed to showcasing Spanish history from the Middle Ages to modern times. Both parks share the same core concept: transporting visitors to different eras through live entertainment and historical reenactments, making them stand out from traditional amusement parks.
