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.

Members' reviews on SEVILLE SETAS AND ANTIQUARIUM

Dans la partie souterraine de ces drôles de champignons se trouve l’Antiquarium, un espace archéologique dans lequel sont conservés d’importants vestiges des périodes romaine, wisigothe et islamique.
Malgré sa construction relativement récente en 2011, le Metropol Parasol est devenu l’une des principales attractions touristiques de Séville, sans doute en raison de l’originalité de la structure!
A voir en passant.
