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.

This is equally sad and typical: there are large nicely restored excavation space but almost no explanations at all. The screens are all out of order and nobody replaced them with written boards to explain what you see. This would be a small effort since the texts must be already prepared for the information on the screens. What a pity

Particolare struttura in legno, da vedere la sera illuminata

Interesting and good way to kill an hour or two

Sincerament, sort que no vam pagar perquè ens entrava amb les entrades de l'Alcàsser perquè aquest espai està en greus problemes de cosnervació. Hi ha filtracions d'aigua i ho solventen amb galledes i fregant. L'aigua cau directament sobre mosaics, moltes zones afectades per humitats que posen en perill la preservació de les peces que s'hi troben. Museogràficament tampoc millora gens. Pots escanejar un codi QR que et porta a un PDF/llibret digital. Encara estic intentant entendre el recorregut que ens feia fer.

Tolle mosaike und schöne beschreibungen, nicht zu umfangreich, was ich gut finde. Leider stinkt es ziemlich, was den aufenthalt beeinträchtigt hat. Dafür war es sehr günstig
