La Plaza de España,
the Spanish square, Seville
Representative of much of the regional architecture, this magnificent construcion is highlighted with polychromatic ceramic tiles. The semicircular plaza has a diametre of 200 metres and is flanked by two spectacular towers and a bordering lake that are especially worth seeing.
It was built for of the Ibero-american Exhibition of 1929, held in Seville. Its creator was Aníbal González. He mixed a style inspired by the Renaissance with typical elements from the city: exposed brick, ceramics and wrought iron (worked by Domingo Prida).
Här är turismen väldigt utbredd och här kan man hyra allt ifrån häst&vagn till den som önskar eller rentav en cykelvagn.
Its floor plan is semicircular. It is dominated by 2 towers, one on each side of the enclosed area, which frame the central building where the main rooms are. Between the two towers runs a network of galleries with an arcade of semicircular arches leading to exits in different parts of the square, where a fountain stands.
Om man så önskar så kan man ro runt på tu man hand och umgås på ett lite mer romantiskt sätt.
Jag valde att gå runt och då även njuta i den stora parken "Maria Luisa" som ligger angränsande
Visst hade det varit mysigt att ta häst&vagn nästa gång.....
