Spanish Square was built in the first half Of the 20th century and is part of the stunning Maria Luisa Park. The impressive area surrounded by galleries delights with architectural craftsmanship and careful decorations.

The heart of the square are the beautiful four bridges symbolizing the historic lands of Spain: Castile, Navarra, Aragon and Leon.

The author of the whole complex was the famous Seville architect Aníbal Gonzalez. The square was created in connection with the Ibero-American Exhibition, which presented the innovations of Spanish industry and crafts.
