Free of charge monument, well worth a visit. It is pedestrianised so visit on your own or your guide on a walking tour will give you some history on the plaza

This is a real monument in every sense of the word, designed to impress. The ornamental lake and park setting add to the attraction

I was expecting to find a square with trees and a few statues but this was truely a wonderful surprise. Beautiful semi circular building with tiled representations of all the provinces of Spain which are really interesting to explore. The canal around it and fountains just add to spectacular affect. Surrounded by tranquil gardens to wander around in. That this... More

Saw this both by night and day- well worth the two visits. Stunning architecture dating from the Exhibition of 1929 though it took, apparently, over 10 years to build. A must see in Seville. The marching bands are something else and are there nearly every day in the season.

The plaza de España was built for the IberoAmerican expo in late 1920's, as were the pavilions dotted around the Parque Maria Luisa. A very impressive semi circle, splendidly tiled, and it includes an image and historically significant story of every province capital in Spain, that you can follow round the semi circle. A bit different for a wander, and... More

We walked here from our apartment and enjoyed the stroll on the way there. As we entered the plaza we were taken aback by all the beautiful architecture in this very new building. I'm sure Yiu know the history of the place so I don't need to go into detail. Stunning!!! We rented a boat for 5€ and went floating... More

This really is a must see in Seville. In such a beautiful city with so many wonderful gardens, this one tops them all by a mile. A sunny springtime afternoon is best when it's not too crowded. Plenty of photo opportunities and the busloads have already gone home. The walk to get there will take you through some of the... More

The buildings and setting are beautiful, what you'd expect for what was to be an international exposition. Gardens while not yet in full bloom are wonderful.

A stunning piece of urban planning, this space is what all public spaces should be - welcoming, beautiful and evocative of a sense of place.
