13 May 2017 – The following are some photos of Plaza de España, a stunning architectural landmark built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition (world fair) held in Seville, Spain. The plaza, located in Maria Luisa Park, is one of the city’s most popular attractions.

The collection of images here were taken on two seperate occasions – the first during a late afternoon visit, and the second during sunrise the following day.

There are 48 tiled alcoves along the curved exterior of the plaza, each one representing a different province in Spain.

Those who have seen the Star Wars prequel ‘Attack of the Clones’ may find the curved exterior corridors of the plaza familiar – they were used as a backdrop for a scene taking place in Theed, a city on the planet Naboo.
