Ibero-American Exposition in 1929 – Seville

This colossal monument was built for the Ibero-American Exposition in 1929 and stands within the Maria Luisa Park.

It’s a semi-circular plaza edged by a canal and overlooked by a large, curved palace. Using typical Sevillian azulejos (painted tiles) these displays showcase details like the local food and famous monuments in each part of the country. It’s like a quaint geography lesson and will hold your attention for a good few minutes. Andalusia’s capital is a city rich with Moorish heritage. This is visible in everything from the colourful painted tiles that adorn many buildings, to the lobed arches of the palaces and of course the iconic Giralda tower, which was once a minaret.
