Spain - Sevilla, Plaza de España

Plaza de España is located in the Parque de María Luisa. It is one of the architectural landmarks of Sevilla. The semi-circular building was built for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 and was the central office. Architect Aníbal González mixed a style inspired by the renaissance with typical elements from the city: exposed brick, ceramics and wrought iron.

Plaza de España has a diametre of 200 metres and is flanked by two tall towers (PiP 1). In front of the building, following the curve of its façade, is a 500-metre canal crossed by four bridges, representing the four ancient kingdoms of Spain

Along the wall of the main building are 58 alcoves with benches, one for each province of Spain, each with a relevant tableau and map, all designed on colourful tiles (PiP 2 and 3).
