Metropol Parasol

Metropol Parasol

Metropol Parasol is located in La Encarnación Square in Seville, and is also humorously known as "the mushrooms of La Encarnación Square." It was completed in 2011 and has become a new iconic landmark of Seville, extremely popular.

Designed by German architect Jürgen Mayer-Hermann, Metropol Parasol measures 150 meters by 70 meters and stands 26 meters tall, making it the world’s largest wooden structure and one of the most innovative and largest contemporary wooden constructions. The inspiration for this uniquely shaped building comes from Seville Cathedral and the banyan tree. Its presence further solidifies Seville’s position as one of Spain’s most captivating cultural destinations. The structure has four levels: the underground Antiquarium exhibition space displays Roman and Moorish ruins discovered on-site; the ground floor houses a central market; and the second and third floors feature panoramic terraces and restaurants offering stunning views of the city center.

As an iconic architectural landmark, Metropol Parasol embodies the cultural essence of Seville. Its distinctive design attracts numerous visitors, creating opportunities for lingering and commerce alike.
