Description
Seville, Spain is a city recognized for its wealth of unmissable sites.While many of these places are recognized for their historic significance, there are many contemporary sites that deserve the attention of affluent travellers as well.
Among these worthwhile monuments is the Metropol Parasol - locally recognized as Las Setas de la EncarnaciĆ³n ("IncarnaciĆ³n's Mushrooms") due to their quirky shape.
Boasting six parasols and four levels, the design of this structure was inspired by the vaults of the Seville Cathedral and the ficus trees in Plaza de Cristo de Burgos.
The underground level is the Aniquarium, where Roman and Moorish remains were discovered during the construction of the structure. At street level is a market and a public plaza often used for events. Both the second and the third levels are platforms that feature a restaurant and fantastic views of the city center.
Today, the Metropol Parasol is commonly used as a meeting spot for locals or as a shaded place to hangout during the hot summer months.
