DMC Seville Event

Metropol Parasol, or more commonly known as ´Las Setas´ is an iconic architectural structure in the heart of Seville. ‘Las Setas’ translates to ´the mushrooms´ and with a little imagination you can see how the art piece earned its nickname. The 6 connected parasols stand almost rooted in the ground providing shade to the people admiring it from below.

This isn´t just any modern art piece. They´ve managed to fit the largest wooden structure on earth in the busy center of Sevilla. Right on Plaza de la Encarnación, which has turned into a cultural hub since the arrival of Las Setas in 2011. The square is filled and surrounded with restaurants, bars, shops and nightclubs. The square also hosts cultural events, concerts and local markets to add to the atmosphere.

Underneath Las Setas you will find the antiquarium, an archeological museum with Roman and Moorish remains discovered during the construction of Las Setas. From here visitors can take an elevator to the top of the structure to enjoy amazing views of Seville. This vantage point will allow you to spot other beautiful landmarks like the cathedral and La Giralda.
