#Setas de Sevilla (Metropol Parasol) Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
A Unique yet Breathtaking Spanish Structure!
Location: Seville city, Spain.
Getting there: Fly from most major European cities or take the train from Madrid or Malaga.
Metropol Parasol
Seville hosts the world’s largest wooden structure: Metropol Parasol, also known as Las Setas. It's an amazing piece of modern architecture in the center of the city.
I recommend paying the small entry fee to climb the stairs to the top. From the top you can look closely at the design and get panoramic views of Seville city.

Mushrooms of Seville
Setas de Sevilla ("Mushrooms of Seville") or Las Setas ("The Mushrooms"), initially titled Metropol Parasol, is a wooden structure located at La Encarnación square in the old quarter of Seville, Spain. It was designed by the German architect Jürgen Mayer and completed in April 2011. It has dimensions of 150 by 70 metres and an approximate height of 26 metres and claims to be the largest wooden structure in the world. Its appearance, location, delays and cost overruns in construction resulted in much public controversy.

The future is here and it's in Seville 🇪🇸
Can you imagine that this whole structure is made entirely out of wood? Cool and sustainable - my kind of jam ✌️
The shape of Plaza de España is a semi-circle, surrounded by a row of buildings that today are, for the most part, used as government institutions. There are two tall towers on the flanks of the square. Of note are the 52 benches and mosaics of tiles located at the foot of the building on the Spanish square. These 52 frescos depict all 52 Spanish provinces.
The mushrooms of Metropol Parazol are not only a wooden construction that covers the square, but on top of the parasols, there is a special walkway and a terrace with beautiful panorama ("El Mirador"). Metropol Parasol also offers an archaeological museum (Antiquarium, see below), shops, several bars and restaurants. A stroll across the Metropol Parasol is certainly worthwhile during your Seville city trip.

There is a tapas restaurant and space for events inside the central parasol. Under the parasols is an elevated, shady square to host events of different characters. At ground level is the Market, along with the commercial and catering spaces. The basement is the Antiquarium Museum, and the top level a lookout point, panoramic view covers most of the area like Hermandad del Valle and some of the restaurants. And also a place for visitors to relax, gather and etc.

The landmark building in the heart of Seville contrasts with the surrounding medieval architecture and highlights the character of Seville, a Spanish cultural city. This futuristic building in the ancient city of Seville, with a nearly 5,000-square-meter honeycomb-like wooden roof, makes it the world's largest timber-framed building, supporting a small parasol for small town residents. During the day, people can hold various trade fairs and cultural activities under the protection of the magical "big umbrella". At night, the building will emit beautiful lights and become a gorgeous stage for the city nightlife. The city parasol has four floors, the underground is Antiquarium, exhibiting the Roman and Moorish sites found here, and the first floor is the central market.
Museo Antiquarium, antique museum: Tickets are 2 Euros, 11:1-14 and 15:00-20, and the second floor of the museum can spend 1.4 Euros along the panoramic passage to enjoy the city view.
