Plaza de España Seville

Plaza de España (literally, “Spain Square”) is a monument located in the heart of Seville, just inside Parque de María Luisa (“Maria Luisa Park”). The Sevillian architect Aníbal González gave life to this jaw-dropping Cultural Heritage Asset, which is breathtakingly beautiful either by day or at night. Its sublime architectural beauty makes Plaza de España a must on your route through Seville.

No wonder it is the most impressive square of Spain. Its 50,000 square metres are home to an imposing building with a tower at each end (North Tower and South Tower), a river of 515 metres long which can be toured by boats, four bridges and ceramic benches symbolising the Spanish provinces (excluding the province of Seville).

There are many interesting facts about Plaza de España. Honouring America, its main building faces the Guadalquivir river, from where the Spanish departed to the New World. Moreover, its characteristic semicircular shape embodies the embrace of Spain to its former American colonies. Undoubtedly, history is in the air in this piece of Sevilian art.

Plaza de España is more than just a place for pictures. Enjoy your time walking from the North Tower to the South Tower, and stop to take a look at all the Spanish provinces on the ceramic benches; cross each bridge and see other tourists on the boats, and live that experience yourself later.

In addition, one of the most important events that take place in Plaza de España are the free tours almost every day of the year. Many films and series have been shot here, such as Star Wars or Game of Thrones, and the directors were conquered by its grandeur. Be sure that once you discover this place, you will also surrender to its charms.
