About This Attraction

It was constructed for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, designed by architect Aníbal González. The plaza features a large, semi-circular building with a series of bridges crossing over a canal, symbolizing Spains four ancient kingdoms. Visitors can enjoy walking along its impressive tiled alcoves representing each Spanish province.
The plaza is located within Maria Luisa Park, offering visitors access to beautiful gardens and walking paths. It is open to the public all year round, and while there are no specific Plaza de España opening hours, the area is generally accessible during daylight hours. Many find it an ideal spot for both relaxation and photography due to its stunning architecture and serene atmosphere. Its central location makes it easy to reach from different parts of Seville.
