Setas de Sevilla

The Metropol Parasol, known as “the Mushrooms of La Encarnación”, is the largest wooden structure in the world.

A design by German architect Jürgen Mayer, it was inaugurated in 2011 and stands 26 metres tall. Composed of six large mushroom-shaped parasols, the structure offers fantastic views of Seville from its walkway-viewpoint. The basement houses the Antiquarium museum, with relevant archaeological remains from the Roman era. The surrounding space includes a food market and an elevated plaza where different events are held.
