Plaza de América

The Plaza de América (Seville, Spain), located in the Parque de María Luisa, was built by architect Aníbal González for the Ibero-American exhibition of 1929. The Plaza is flanked by three buildings, also built by González for the exhibition, in three distinct architectural styles: the Museum of Popular Arts (Neomudéjar), the Archaeological Museum (Neo-Renaissance), and the Royal Pavilion (Gothic).[1]

Filming locations

The site has served as a filming location for several notable productions. Scenes from the 1975 film The Wind and the Lion were shot here.[2] Additionally, the episode "Mou Mou" (2022) from the fifth season of the Netflix series The Crown also featured scenes filmed at this location.[3]
