Against the front facade of the main building, you will find beautiful tiled benches representing the Provinces of Spain. The first five tiled benches represent Cadiz - Canarias - Caceres - Burgos and Balearics. Right in front of the tiled benches, there are tiled maps showing where the Province is located in Spain.

All along the facade of the main building are beautiful tiled benches, representing the Provinces of Spain. The benches pictured here are of : Barcelona - Albacete - Alicante - Avila and the Monuments in Seville. By the way, these are just a few of the dozens of tiled benches that can be found in front and all around the Plaza de Espana. Leave a Comment

by tompt Azulejos are glazed tiles in lovely colors. They are strong, cool in summer and for those reason everywhere in Seville. The art of making them is brought to Spain by the Moors. The word azulejos comes from the Arab word az-zulayj (stone). Origianlly it was used to make colorfull mosaics with little stones of one color. The colors the Moors used were blue,green,black, white and ochre. Later the art of glazing was further developped and the tiles had several colors in one tile and even entire pictures were glazed on a tile. The tiles in the pictures are on a balustrade in front of the Plaza de Espana. Here you can find some great examples of the azulejos. More pictures can be found in our Plaza de Espagna travelogue.

by A2002 I love this place best in Sevilla. We had a short tour on the horse carriages around the Plaza de España, Parque de María Luisa, and Plaza de América. It was a romantic experience. :-) Oh yes, there's a scene in Star Wars Episode 2 being shot here! No wonder the place looks familiar when I was watching the movie...... Leave a Comment

by nulain Visit PLAZA DE ESPAÑA Representative of much of the regional architecture, this magnificent construcion is highlighted with polychromatic ceramic tiles. The semicircular plaza has a diametre of two hundred metres and is flanked by two spectacular towers and a bordering lake that are especially worth seeing. Plaza de España has been one of the sceneries for episode II of George Lucas' STAR WARS saga: Attack of the clones

by Sharrie Around the vicinity of Plaza De Espana, there are many interesting buildings such as those pictured above & some of them are those of Plaza de America, Pabellon de Chile, Pabellon de Uruguay & the Neo-Renaissance Pabellon de las Bellas Artes which houses the provincial Museo Arqueologico, which we never get to visit on a tour! You have to go on your own, such a wasted trip :-(( ; but luckily for all of us, there are many architectural wonders in Spain! Leave a Comment

by Sharrie Absolutely see PLAZA DE ESPANA (actually I've got no choice over this matter, I go where my guide brings me ;-) & she's the beautiful Victoria, you'll see more of her later!): The plaza's ground is a donation from Princess Maria Luisa to the city in 1893 & landscaped by Jean Forestier. Here, you can see the beauty of many paintings on ceramic tiles depicting regional scenes. Leave a Comment

by Pegasus74 Not too far away is the splendid Plaza de Espana consisting of a semi-circular stretch of arcaded brick-faced building and a lovely fountain at its centre packed with hungry doves, rendering a perfect backdrop on a picture when they are almost overshadowed by twilight. A boating pond spanned by small bridges forms its diameter. Leave a Comment

by Maggies I guess it’s my favourite place here in Sevilla. The park itself is beautiful and there are plenty of monuments here too.
