History
The Setas de Sevilla, affectionately known as “Las Setas” or the Mushrooms, originated from a 2004 international design competition to revitalize Plaza de la Encarnación, Seville’s historic heart once home to the city’s first food market built on a medieval Augustinian convent site. German architect Jürgen Mayer’s innovative proposal, initially titled Metropol Parasol, won among 65 entries, aiming to blend modern architecture with the square’s ancient layers while providing shade and public space.
Completed in April 2011 after delays due to the discovery of Roman and Moorish ruins beneath the site, the structure transformed a neglected area into a vibrant hub. These archaeological finds were preserved in the underground Antiquarium, ensuring the project honored Seville’s past—from its Roman origins to Islamic influences—while introducing the world’s largest wooden structure as a symbol of contemporary urban renewal.
