The Unusual Italian Village In Wales

Walking into this little village feels as if you've been transported to Italy, but in fact, you're not even close. Tucked away on the coast of northern Wales is the village of Portmeirion, a truly unique town built with a colorful, whimsical design and an eye for conservation. Built between 1925 and 1975 by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, Portmeirion became a home for lost building parts, such as taking the stones of a demolished castle to make a town clock tower. But the most striking part of the town is the integration of nature with the town's colorful architecture, modifying nearly every single building to work with the nearby terrain. Join Bridget Barbara from ‪@TheCuriousWorld‬ and Atlas Obscura as we explore this unusual Welsh town.
