The most curious structure in Seville was built at La Encarnación Square in 2011. Architect Jürgen Mayer named his creation Metropol Parasol. The locals call it Las Setas de la Encarnación meaning Incarnation’s Mushroom. The world’s largest wooden structure measures 490 by 230 feet and 85 feet tall. In the basement are Roman and Moor artifacts. Surrounding the street level are restaurants and shops. The other two levels host staged performances, a restaurant and an observation deck. This oddity is worth seeing.
