This visit is a must to discover the Seville of the XXI century and also to enjoy a panoramic view of all the surroundings.

After years of controversy and controversy worthy of those that occurred during the creation of the Pompidou Center in Paris, as well as work carried out in fits and starts due to technical and financial complications, the building was inaugurated in March 2011. With an initial budget multiplied by three and estimated at 33 million euros for what has officially become the Setas de Sevilla, the name given to it by the Sevillians and meaning "mushrooms". It must be admitted that the result, combining a huge wooden structure at 26 m high supported by six concrete pillars, designed by the Berlin architect Jürgen Mayer-Hermann, has finally found its place in the Sevillian urban landscape. Inside, there is the new Encarnación market, a restaurant area, a pedestrian plaza, an immersive multi-sensory room "Feeling Seville" and the Mirador, which is transformed at night with Aurora, a unique sound and light experience. The basement houses Antiquarium, the archaeological museum. Enclosed in a glass envelope, it displays the remains discovered during the pre-construction work on the site. Most of them date from the Roman period (1st to 6th century), when Seville was still called Hispalis; from the Muslim period, the remains of an Almohad house (12th and 13th centuries) remain. A short visit to the old city is recommended before leaving for Itálica.

Monument controversé dès sa construction, surnommé par les sévillans la seta  (le champignon) parce qu'il ressemble à une immense pleurote, je doutais moi même de l'intérêt à visiter le Metropol Parasol. Je me laisse tout de même convaincre par le prix assez bas du ticket d'entrée, d'autant plus qu'avec le sésame permettant l'accès en ascenseur sur le chapeau du champignon, une consommation est offerte. Là haut, une vue imprenable sur les toits de Séville où depuis on peut observer La Giralda, les terrasses de la Plaza de la Encarnacion, les Arènes de la Maestranza, les pavillons de l'exposition universelle de 1992 laissés à l'abandon et même des télévisions et un vélo laissés sur le toit d'un immeuble pour attirer le regard des curieux. Il est préférable d'attendre le soir au moment du coucher du soleil, alors que la lumière est plus douce et contrastée, pour entreprendre votre exploration fongique.

Monumental wooden structure, the métropol parasol allows since its bridges, a view point built on the city. Very busy at the foot of this sculpture.

This tour allows you to have a view point built on the various districts of the centre of Seville. To see at sunset. At the foot of the mirador, there is a shopping center and a few restaurants and bar, as well as a park very popular with the children of the neighbourhood.

Original et surprenant ces champignons géants ! Cela vaut le coup d'œil et à l'étage la promenade est aérienne avec différentes vues sur Séville !

Nous y sommes surtout allé pour y boire un verre à la terrasse du bâtiment mais c'est tout car, et ce n'est que mon avis, cela n'a rien d'exceptionnel et cela gâche même le cachet du quartier.
