The Plaza de España in Seville is one of the most spectacular architectural spaces in the city and neo-moresque architecture.
The square is located within the María Luisa Park, its entrance is very close to the roundabout of the Cid Campeador, exactly opposite the old Royal Tobacco Factory. The entrance to the square is free, but to avoid vandalism it is closed at 10pm (in summer it closes at midnight). The design of the square was entrusted to the architect Annibale González, who was also director of the Ibero-American Exhibition of Seville in 1929. The total surface area of the square is 50,000 square meters. Construction began in 1914, and was completed in 1928 under the direction of the architect Vicente Traver, who took over from Hannibal Gonzalez in 1926 after his resignation.
