The Plaza de España was the flagship project of the Latin American Exhibition of 1929. It was designed by the architect Aníbal González Seville. The square, located in Seville (Andalusia), is large (200 m diameter) and has a semi-elliptical shape, symbolizing the embrace of Spain and its former colonies, and overlooks the Guadalquivir River as the way to America. It is bordered by a canal crossed by 4 bridges that represent the 4 ancient kingdoms of Spain. Its total area is 50 000 sq m approximately, of which 19 000 are built.
