Plaza de América

Plaza de América, in Seville, is located within the Parque Maria Luisa. The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs, the Archaeological Museum and the Royal Pavilion are around it. All of them have different architectural styles but they were all built by Aníbal González for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. There are sensational gardens in this plaza, with palm trees, fountains and little squares decorated with ceramics, such as Miguel de Cervantes’ and Rodriguez Marín’s.

Plaza de América has long attracted hundreds of white pigeons which alight on their benches, drink from their fountains or walk along its walkways as if they were also tourists. That is why it is more commonly known among the Sevillians as Parque de las Palomas (“Pigeons Park”) or Plaza de las Palomas (“Pigeons Square”).

It is known that, around this area, Plaza de España is usually the landmark for tourists. However, we suggest you to stop by Plaza de América. The feeling of sitting to rest on one of its benches is priceless, surrounded by a picture-postcard setting, while contemplating life around you. It is, without a doubt, an ideal place to everyone.
