Plaza de España (Seville): Regionalism, Ceramics, and Expo Urbanism (1929; Present)

Anibal González’s semicircular plaza for the Ibero‑American Exposition blends Renaissance revival with Andalusian craft. Brick arcades, bridges, fountains, and azulejo benches celebrate Spanish provinces. Conservation addresses tile spalling, mortar joints, fountain systems, and paving as crowds swirl through María Luisa Park’s grand set piece.

Expo Legacy

The 1929 exposition transformed Seville’s parklands with pavilions; the Plaza endures as a civic stage for locals and visitors.

Craft and Fabric

Glazed tiles, brick, and stone require gentle cleaning, grout renewal, and slip‑resistant finishes. Shade, water, and planters create microclimates.

Visiting Tips

Arrive early to photograph bridges without crowds; explore adjacent museums and gardens.
