Plaza De Espana in Seville

The Plaza de España is one of Seville's most easily renowned 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 and blended a style inspired by the Renaissance with distinct elements from the city which primarily comprises of exposed brick, ceramics and wrought iron (worked by Domingo Prida). On the Park's edge was constructed the present Plaza de España to display the exhibits of Spain's industry and technology.

The Plaza is an enormous semi circle with buildings constantly running around the edge accessible over the moat by numerous striking bridges. At the heart of the Plaza De Espana in Seville, Spain is a stunning large fountain but presently the plaza primarily comprises of Government buildings however the remnants of the once gorgeous beauty still persists. The semicircular plaza has a diameter of 200 meters and is bordered by two spectacular towers and an adjoining lake that are especially worth seeing. Between the two towers runs a network of galleries with cluster of semicircular arches leading to exits in different parts of the square, where a fountain stands. The large brick building flanked at each end by a high tower has fifty eight benches in recesses embellished with tiles and vividly depicts the historic episodes for each province of Spain.

A Popular way to view the exhibition is by renting out a rowing boat and wanders around the moat. The walls of the Plaza are adorned with many tiled alcoves and each one of them represents a different province of Spain. Plaza de España is used as a setting for Naboo in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, though it was digitally modified.
It was also used as the "Cairo Great Britain Army Headquarters" for the legendary movie Lawrence of Arabia (film).
