Plaza de España (Seville)

No matter which city you visit in Spain, you’ll find various plazas. Since you’re in Seville, you simply must visit the most beautiful plaza in the city — Plaza de España.

Built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition held in 1929, Plaza de España is a prime example of Neo-Renaissance architecture in Spain. The plaza is semi-circular and one of the most recognizable buildings in Seville, serving as a microcosm of Spanish Moorish Revival architecture. It is surrounded by a semi-circular red-brick building, with tall towers connecting the ends of the arc, giving it a very unique appearance. The continuous structure encircles the edge of the plaza and is accessible via a moat spanned by many beautiful bridges. The walls of the plaza feature numerous niches, each representing a different Spanish province and depicting the diverse charm of cities across Spain.

With its Roman-style colonnades, arches, capitals, fountains, rivers, small bridges, ceramic-tiled railings, and a seamless blend of Arabic and Spanish architectural styles, Plaza de España in Seville is hailed as one of the most beautiful plazas in Spain.
