Plaza de España known in English as Spain Square, is one of the famous sights in Seville. It is located in Maria Luisa Park and was designed by Anibal Gonzalez. It is a good example of the Rennaisance Revival Style in Spanish Architecture. It is the site of the Spanish pavilion from the 1929 exhibition.

Don't miss walking around the area and if you have enough time, take a walk in Maria Luisa Park is also a good chance to relax and enjoy its landscape. There are also attractive monuments and museums for you to discover.
