LEISURE, UNIQUE PLACES, ATTRACTION

An embrace of 170 meters in diameter

Seville embraces its visitors, an embrace in the form of a square that has amazed those who see it for the first time since 1929: the Plaza de España. Did you know that TripAdvisor users have rated it as the most spectacular monument in Europe and the second most spectacular in the world?

The masterpiece of Aníbal González

The Plaza de España is a spectacle of light and majesty. Framed in the Maria Luisa Park, this square was designed by the great Sevillian architect Aníbal González as an emblematic space for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. The result was a plaza-palace unique in the world. Its proportions are lavish; it has a total area of 50,000 square meters, making it undoubtedly the most imposing square in Spain.

Along the entire perimeter of the square stretches a 515-meter-long canal, which you can travel on board a boat. Undoubtedly, a romantic experience.

A tribute from Spain to America

Along this embrace, or what is the same, from one end of the square to the other, we recommend you admire the banks of tiles representing the provinces of Spain. This has become a frequent «ritual» for national visitors who seek to be photographed in front of the space dedicated to their province.

A cinema square

The four beautiful bridges that cross the canal represent the ancient kingdoms of Spain.

Two tall towers stand at the ends of the square, giving a perfect balance to the whole. These towers can be seen from all over Seville.

The arcaded gallery that separates the open space of the square with respect to the building invites to be walked. Admire the impressive coffered ceiling…

The Plaza de España has enchanted several film directors. This monument has been the setting for famous films such as Lawrence of Arabia or Episode II of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.
