A bold tribute to the Metropol Parasol Skyline and the Andalusian Capital on the Guadalquivir where Seville's contemporary skyline, dramatically transformed by the inauguration in 2011 of the Metropol Parasol in the Plaza de la Encarnacion, the extraordinary undulating wooden lattice structure designed by German architect Jurgen Mayer and known affectionately as Las Setas, the Mushrooms, as the largest wooden structure in the world covering 150 metres by 70 metres and providing shade for an urban square while housing an archaeological museum in its base, a farmers market, restaurants, and a rooftop walkway offering panoramic views across the city, represents Seville's bold embrace of contemporary architecture alongside its extraordinary historic patrimony, where the view from the Metropol Parasol across the Seville skyline reveals the Giralda tower, the Cathedral dome, and the Torre del Oro, the 13th-century Almohad watchtower on the Guadalquivir riverbank whose golden tiles once reflected in the river's water and which guarded the entrance to the port through which the wealth of the Americas flowed into Spain, and where the Guadalquivir River, navigable from the Atlantic Ocean to Seville some 80 kilometres inland, made Seville the only inland port in Spain and the richest city in Europe at the height of the Spanish colonial empire.
