Metropol Parasol


The world's largest wooden structure is right here in Sevilla! This amazing piece of architecture was recently completed earlier this year.


The parasol is located in one of the oldest plazas in the city. This is the original floor of the plaza. The construction of this structure has caused some controversy with residents of Sevilla because it is a huge modern structure in a historic site and each resident was taxed a significant amount for the construction.

Beautiful view of the cathedral and tower.
