=== ''Parque de María Luisa'' === [[File:Glorieta de los hermanos Álvarez Quintero 5.JPG|thumb|Tiled fountain in ''[[Parque de María Luisa]]'']] The sprawling ''Parque de María Luisa'' (María Luisa Park) was designed by architect Aníbal González for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. The park includes two major plazas, the ''Plaza de España'' and the ''Plaza de América'', and several monuments and museums. They include outstanding examples of regionalist [[Revival architecture]], a mix of [[Neo-Mudéjar]] and [[Neo-renaissance|Neo-Renaissance]], lavishly ornamented with typical glazed tiles.<ref name="Quintero-2011">{{Cite web |last1=Quintero |first1=Josephine |last2=Watson |first2=Fiona Flores |date=6 December 2011 |title=Maria Luisa Park |url=https://www.andalucia.com/cities/seville/marialuisapark.htm |access-date=3 June 2023 |website=Andalucia.com |language=en}}</ref><ref name="sevilla1">{{cite web|url=http://www.sevilla5.com/monuments/plespana.html |title=Plaza De Espańa And Maria Luisa Park Sevilla – Seville |website=Sevilla5.com |access-date=10 April 2011}}</ref> At the park's north end, the semi-circular ''Plaza de España'' is marked by tall towers and a series of benches covered in painted tiles dedicated to each of the 48 [[provinces of Spain]].<ref name="Quintero-2011" /> The location has been used in the filming of several movies.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Watson |first=Fiona Flores |date=6 December 2011 |title=Plaza de España |url=https://www.andalucia.com/cities/seville/plazadeespana.htm |access-date=3 June 2023 |website=Andalucia.com |language=en}}</ref> At the southern end of the park, the ''Plaza de América'' is flanked by three structures emulating different historical styles: the Royal Pavilion has Gothic features, the Mudéjar Pavilion has a Mudéjar style, and the ''Bellas Artes'' Pavilion has a Renaissance style.
