Plaza de España

Rent a rowboat to paddle along the canal and beneath the decorative bridges of this magnificent square.

In their own words: “This here is Plaza de Espana. Originally built for the World's Fair in 1929, it was to showcase Spain's history, culture, and ties with Latin America. These days it's one of Spain's most beautiful squares.”

Arrive early to enjoy this stunning semi-circular plaza with its unique tiled alcoves and central canal before the crowds.

In their own words: “Let's start your day at Plaza de España, easily one of the most stunning spots in all of Sevilla. This is the landmark everyone rushes to see first. Built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, it features a huge semi-circular design. You'll see colorful tiled province alcoves, charming bridges, and a central canal.”

Visit early in the morning to experience its grandeur without crowds and admire the 52 tiled alcoves representing Spanish provinces.

In their own words: “And nothing prepared me for the grandeur of this place. I had seen photos before, but they don’t do it justice. The sheer size of the plaza is astonishing, semi-circular and monumental, it spans over 50,000 square meters, ringed by a vast canal and crossed by ornate bridges.”
