Architect Vicente Traver y Tomás integrated a theater and casino into the Pabellón de Sevilla for Expo Sevilla 1929. This Brogue façade crowned with a ceramic dome was the casino entrance from María Luisa Park. After a checkered past of physical disasters and renovations, Lope de Vega Theatre is now a venue for concerts and plays. The theater’s namesake was one of Spain’s most prolific and famous playwrights who lived from 1562 until 1635.
