Plaza de España (Spain Square), Seville, Spain
The Plaza de España that of Seville's most easily recognised buildings and the epitome of the Moorish Revival in Spanish architecture. In 1929 Seville hosted the Spanish-American Exhibition and numerous buildings were constructed for the exhibition in Maria Luisa Park, among them the Plaza designed by Aníbal González. On the Park's edge was built the current Plaza de España to showcase Spain's industry and technology exhibits.
The Plaza is a huge half-circle with buildings continually running around the edge accessible over the moat by numerous beautiful bridges . In the centre is a large fountain. Today the plaza mainly consists of Government buildings, including El Ayuntamiento, but the beauty remains. A popular way to view the exhibition is by renting out a rowing boat and drifting around the moat. By the walls of the Plaza are many tiled alcoves, each representing a different province of Spain. Tourists can have their photo taken by their own home province.
塞维利亚（西班牙语：Sevilla），是西班牙安达鲁西亚自治区和塞维利亚省的首府，都市人口约一百三十万，是西班牙第四大都市。也是西班牙唯一有内河港口的城市。全市人口65万。 瓜达尔基维尔河从市中穿流而过，古市区的建筑仍然保留著几个世纪前摩尔人统治过的痕迹。塞维利亚曾是一个重要的港口(即古都塞维尔,古又称巴罗斯港。1492年8月3日意大利人克里斯多弗·哥伦布奉西班牙国王之命，从巴罗斯港出发，率领探险队西行，横渡大西洋)。西班牙的船队从新大陆运来大批黄金、白银，经过塞维利亚转运往欧洲各地。
西班牙广场为1929年伊比利亚美洲博览会所在地。整个建筑呈半圆形，外部用各种瓷砖镶嵌而成，代表原西班牙58个省。楼群周围有一条人工小护城河，上面建有数座小桥，气势不凡，别具一格。
