Several of the pavilions for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 were designed by architect Anibal González. His crowning glory is Plaza de España. The stunning building combines three architectural styles: Renaissance, Mudéjar and Art Nouveau. The square in front of the crescent-shaped structure is reached by crossing the 1,640 foot canal on one of four bridges representing Spain’s ancient kingdoms. Notice the couple sitting on the bench. There are 58 of them, one for each of Spain’s provinces.
