Plaza de España


The major building left from the exhibition at the Parque María Luisa is a half-moon-shaped structure in Renaissance style, set on this landmark square of Seville. The architect, Anibal González, not only designed but also supervised the building of this immense structure; today it is a government office building. At a canal here you can rent rowboats for excursions into the park, or you can walk across bridges spanning the canal. Set into a curved wall are alcoves, each focusing on characteristics of one of Spain's 50 provinces, as depicted in tile murals.
