We went exploring throughout the old quarter of Sevilla. We came across a very unique structure, called the Metropol Parasol. It is also known as “Las Setas de Sevilla” which translates as the mushrooms of Sevilla.

We walked along the base of the Metropol Parasol exploring the large structure.

This project to create the Metropol Parasol was by the german architect Jürgen Mayer, and is the largest wooden structure in the world.

The Metropol Parasol has different levels, each one with interesting things to see. On the underground level we came across the Antiquarium Museum. It was created to allow people to visit the archaeological remains that were found during the early excavations for the Metropol Parasol.

The Roman ruins on display are behind a large glass, which gives the appearance of an aquarium.

After checking out the Roman ruins we took the Elevator to the third level. On that level there is a restaurant with seating which provided great views of the city.

We walked around the restaurant and came to the 26-meter-high walkway which crossed over the top of the parasol.

We walked along the walkway enjoying the views of the skyline.

The parasol is quite interesting and you were able to look down through the structure to the ground below.

We walked around the parasol enjoying the different views of the skyline. It is an impressive size 150 by 70 metres (490 by 230 ft) and an approximate height of 26 metres (85 ft).

The Metropol Parasol was a very unique wooded structure and we enjoyed exploring the different levels of it.  It was one of the highlights of our trip to Sevilla.
