Metropol Parasol, more popularly known as Las Setas of Sevilla, is located in the center of Seville, near the Cathedral, the famous Plaza de la Alfalfa that goes into the historic quarter of the city and is surrounded by shops and restaurants.
It is a structure in the form of a wood and concrete pergola located in the central Plaza de la Encarnación. It is formed by a large parasol-shaped grid supported on six pillars that go from the Plaza de la Encarnación to the Plaza Mayor of the city. Its design is inspired by the vaults of the Cathedral of Seville, due to its fungiform profile, it soon received the most popular name of Las Setas from the Sevillians.
Its designer was the Berlin architect Jürgen Mayer. Due to its avant-garde design, it has become an icon of the historic center of Seville.
Aurora and the Mercado de la Encarnación are two of its most visible pillars.
Aurora is more than a light show. It is the balance between progress, culture and emotion, it is a tribute to the light of Seville, it surrounds you in its warmth and accompanies you during your journey. Aurora is Seville, because it follows its rhythm, its temperature, its sunset, its breeze and, of course, you.
The Mercado de la Encarnación is the first food market in the city of Seville that is known. It was built on an old medieval Augustinian convent called "Convento de la Encarnación", giving its name to the square where we find ourselves today. Designed by the greatest architect of Seville, Melchor Cano, the market had more than 400 stalls of fresh products. Due to its size and location, the market supplied the entire city.
