About Setas de Sevilla
No Seville visit is complete without Las Setas. This extraordinary wooden structure blends contemporary design with ancient history — from its Roman and Moorish ruins in the Antiquarium to the Aurora light show that transforms the parasols after dark. Pair it with a flamenco show, a Guadalquivir river cruise, or a city walking tour for the ultimate Seville experience.
Seville officially adopted the name "Setas de Sevilla" after discovering the project's architect had trademarked the name "Metropol Parasol" and would charge for its use.
People originally wanted to build a parking lot at Plaza de la Encarnación, but that idea was abandoned when Roman remains were discovered during excavations. Those ruins are now preserved in the Antiquarium museum directly beneath the structure.
The structure was selected from 65 submissions in a city-sponsored competition to revitalise the square. Construction took six years and the final cost was reported at around 123 million euros — well over the original budget.
The Metropol Parasol's trademark amorphous shape can be seen reflected in every detail of the development, from the curvy benches to the sinuous flowerbeds. Even the smallest design elements echo the organic mushroom aesthetic of the parasols above.
