Best Answer

These were brought by Spanish conquistadores who conquered Mexico in the 16th century. Although piñatas are commonly associated in Mexico, these were originally "invented" in China. After Marco Polo's expedition in the 14th century, these were brought to Europe (pignattas). From there, these were adopted by Spain.

Piñatas first started in China, to celebrate the New Year. They were first 'discovered' by Marco Polo on the 14th century.
