Sevilla, Spain - Metropol Parasol (giant Mushroom Sculpture, to walk on)
Designed by German architect Jürgen Mayer-Hermann, this wooden sculpture was completed in April 2011. It is located in Seville, Spain in the old quarter, at La Encarnación square. In English it is known as Metropol Parasol, but known by the locals as Las Setas de la Encarnación (Incarnación's Mushrooms).
With dimensions of 490 by 230 ft, and an approximate height of 85 ft, it is considered to be the largest wooden structure in the world. It consists of 6 parasols that look like mushrooms.
This is from our visit there in May 2011 - Ed is doing the narration as he films and I edited and put it all together. Even if you are afraid of heights, as I am, it is exhilarating to walk on the top - the views are breathtaking and you feel pretty secure up there.
The Famous Metropol Parasol in Seville, Spain

Espacio Metropol Parasol, Seville - Spain 4K Travel Channel
The Espacio Metropole Parasol replaces the old covered market at the Plaza de of La Encarnación in Seville.Encarnación. The Metropole Parasol is already beautiful illuminated and fascinates already by its size. A giant mushroom-shaped structure of wood and steel was built on a platform, where you can find bars, restaurants, shops, a market and an archaeological museum. Actually, it consists of six mushrooms, which are connected at some points.
Footbridges on the roof serve as a viewing platform and adventure trails.
Originally an office building should be built here, but when archaeological remains were found here, it came to an invitation to tender for the redesign of the square.
The Berlin architect Mayer-Hermann won with his design and in 2005 the construction was started. Technical difficulties led to delays and significant increases in construction costs. The building was completed in 2011.
Suddenly it gets loud and rollerbladers arrive at the square. Apparently it's Blade Night in Seville.
We choose a restaurant with outdoor tables where we have a good view of the building and enjoy the sight for the rest of the evening.

Der Espacio Metropol Parasol ersetzt die alte Markthalle auf der Plaza de la Encarnación in Sevilla.
Als wir am Abend in Sevilla ankommen, wollen wir Abendessen gehen. Da wir uns ein zentral gelegenes Hotel gesucht haben, ist der Weg zur Plaza de la Encarnación nicht weit. Der Metropol Parasol ist wunderschön illuminiert und fasziniert schon allein durch seine Größe.
Auf einer Plattform, in der sich Bars, Restaurants, Läden, ein Markt und ein archäologisches Museum befinden, wurde aus Holz und Stahl eine pilzförmige Struktur errichtet. Eigentlich sind es sechs Pilze, die an einigen Stellen verbunden sind.
Auf dem Dach befinden sich Stege, die als Aussichtsplattform und Erlebniswege dienen.
Ursprünglich sollte hier ein Bürogebäude errichtet werden, doch als hier archäologische Überreste gefunden wurden kam es zu einer Ausschreibung zur Neugestaltung des Platzes.
Der Berliner Architekt Jürgen Mayer gewann mit seinem Entwurf und 2005 wurde der Bau begonnen. Auf Grund technischer Schwierigkeiten kam es zu Verzögerungen und deutlichen Erhöhungen der Baukosten. 2011 wurde der Bau dann fertiggestellt.
Plötzlich wird es laut und Rollerblader stürmen den Platz. Anscheinend ist Blade Night in Sevilla.
Wir suchen uns ein Restaurant mit Tischen im Freien, von denen aus man einen guten Ausblick auf das Bauwerk hat und genießen den Anblick für den Rest des Abends.
