Spain - Sevilla, Metropol Parasol

Metropol Parasol is a wooden structure, designed by the German architect Jürgen Mayer-Hermann and was completed in April 2011. The innovative structure is made from bonded timber with a polyurethane coating.
With its dimensions of 150 by 70 metres and a height of 26 metres it is considered being the largest timber-framed structure in the world. The Metropol Parasol is popularly known as ‘Las Setas’ (the Mushrooms).

The structure consists of six parasols in the form of giant mushrooms. The panoramic terraces and a short rooftop promenade offer visitors one of the best views of Sevilla.
