Photographer’s Note

Detail caught in Plaza de Espana.

"The Plaza de España is one of Seville's most easily recognised 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. On the Park's edge was built the current Plaza de España to showcase Spain's industry and technology exhibits.

The Plaza is a huge half-circle with buildings continually running around the edge accessible over the moat by numerous beautiful bridges.
In the centre is a large fountain. Today the plaza mainly consists of Government buildings, including El Ayuntamiento, but the beauty remains.
By the walls of the Plaza are many tiled alcoves, each representing a different province of Spain." (Wiki)
