Maria Luisa Park
The Iberoamerican Exhibition of 1929 was an event that
greatly influenced the architecture and planning of
the city, leaving its indelible mark of beautiful surroundings.
The Maria Luisa Park was transformed under the guidance
of the famous Forestier. The "Paseo de la Palmera"
which means the Palm Tree Avenue, is one of the most
beautiful avenues in Seville and it was the backbone
of the exhibition. It was sorrounded by different national
pavilions and stately homes from participing countries;
Cuba, Argentina, Mexico, Santo Domingo, United States
of America, Chile, Perú…
However, the most important monument created for the
Exhibition is without doubt, the "Plaza de España"
(Spanish Square), which was the Spanish Pavilion for
the Exhibition, and the "Plaza de América"
(American Square), where there are three different buildings:
The Royal Pavilion, the Neo-mudejar Pavilion and the
Neo-renaissance Pavilion.
