Summary

[edit]
Description

A tour of Seville on our coach. A local tour guide talked about what we were seeing (allowing our normal tour manager to have a break for once!).


After we visited the Plaza de Espana and Plaza de America in Parque de María Luisa, it was time to head to the centre of Seville.

Some people took the option to go on boat trip. But we didn't. So once we got off the coach again, we followed the tour guide towards the cathedral.


Sculpture seen near opposite the roundabout between Av. de Maria Luisa and Av. Portugal.

Parque de María Luisa is behind it!

Glorieta San Diego

The Glorieta de San Diego , located in one of the entrances to the Parque de María Luisa of Sevilla in the area of the Plaza of Spain , during the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 was the main entrance door.

Its name comes from an ancient convent of Discalced Franciscans named, had been abandoned since the late eighteenth century, used as a tannery in the early years of the nineteenth century and since the mid-century to 1883 (date of demolition) made of stables Palacio de San Telmo . Instead the Casino Exhibition and rose Municipal Theatre Lope de Vega (Seville Pavilion during the Ibero-American Exposition).

The main attraction is the half-hidden by a giant magnolia source and adorned with figures representing a Hispania with the coat of arms of the Spanish royalty and NO8DO , symbolizing Spain , accompanied by a lion. The allegorical figures on both sides symbolize the spiritual wealth (in the form of young robed carries in his right hand a figure of the Immaculate) and material (in the form of a woman carrying a bunch of grapes and a few ears of corn) in Seville. The jet from the source is directed to an inverted water shell leading to a larger deposit.

Close to this roundabout is the Monumento a La Raza .

Made in 1929 by several authors: the triple bow is a work of Vicente Traver , the central figure of the work of Manuel Delgado Brackenbury and openings on the sides of Enrique Pérez Comendador .
