An international contest was opened for designs to revitalize Seville's Plaza de la Encarnacion. The winner, a German architect, designed Metropol Parasol or what is now known as Las Setas ("The Mushrooms") de Sevilla. Once you see the wooden structure, you'll understand how it got its name! It's not just an area shaded by the parasols - there's a market, restaurants, a museum and more. Plus, you can climb to a rooftop terrace for a great panoramic view of Seville.
