America Square is actually a square inside the Maria Luisa Park. It is surrounded on three sides of the world. To its north is the Museum of Popular Art and Customs, the Neo-Renaissance Archaeological Museum to the south and the Neo-Gothic Royal Pavilion to the east. All three buildings are the work of architect Anibal Gonzalez and were built from 1913 to 1916. The occasion for the construction of such beautiful buildings on the square is the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929. One part of the square is occupied by the roundabout named Miguel de Cervantes.
The circular flow is specially decorated with ceramics, which gives it a special charm. Especially beautiful are the tall palm trees that decorate the square and the multitude of pigeons that gather there and are fed by visitors.
There are special stalls in the square where bird food is sold. In the square there are pillars that are connected by chains that also connect globes of light. A very important ceremony took place in this square on April 7, 1926. Then King Alfonso XIII gave a very emotional speech in the square about how important it is for Seville to be the economic center of Southern Spain. The square is very nicely decorated with various greenery and is a perfect place for a walk and escape from the city crowd. In this photogenic square there is also a small lake, in which it is sometimes possible to row small boats. The square in the park is a true architectural masterpiece, but also a very beautiful natural landscape in the city center.
