Plaza España

The beautiful Plaza de España is located in the Maria Luisa park. This romantic square was designed by Anibal Gonzáles Álvarez in 1929 on the occasion of the Ibero-American exhibition. When the then king first saw the square when it was finished, he said. Gentlemen, I knew it was going to be beautiful but not so beautiful. It seems that this is still the case overall, as the square has been ranked number two on the list of the most special places to visit in the world by Tripadvisor travelers.

This event was intended to increase the bond between Spain, Portugal and its colonies, with each country designing a pavilion. There are many beautiful pavilions to admire, but the plaza de España is an absolute highlight.

The square is laid out in the shape of a gigantic semicircle and is surrounded by the beautifully decorated building with two towers at either end. The shape symbolized the embrace by motherland Spain of its South American colonies! The opening towards the Guadalquivir River symbolizes the way to the colonies and America.

In the center of the square is a beautiful fountain. A moat flows along it over which 4 bridges have been constructed, as a symbol of the 4 kingdoms that made up Spain at the time: Castile, Leon, Navarra and Aragón.

The buildings around the square are currently used by various government departments.

Beneath the buildings there are beautiful tableaux of ceramic tiles, the azulos, in the form of benches. These colorfully illustrate the various Spanish provinces with their own map, the provincial coat of arms and historical events.

This unique place is ideal for taking fantastic panoramic photos, but you can also opt for a ride in a horse-drawn carriage or for sailing in a boat through the canal.

Fact: the square was used as a setting for the movies "Lawrence of Arabia" and for "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones".
