Metropol Parasol, popularly known as Setas de Sevilla, is a pergola-shaped structure made of wood and concrete located in the central Plaza de la Encarnación in the city of Seville, in the autonomous community of Andalusia (Spain). It has dimensions of 150 meters long, 70 meters wide and an approximate height of 26 meters. Its base houses a traditional market and restaurants on the ground floor, an entertainment plaza and the Antiquarium archaeological museum. The structure is crowned with a terrace and a viewing platform that offers a panoramic view of the old city center.

The work, composed mainly of laminated wood, is made up of a large parasol-shaped grid supported on six pillars that cover both the Plaza de la Encarnación and the Plaza Mayor of the city. Each of its ribs composes a spatial distribution where each rib offers its own curvature, which gives the whole a sensation of undulating movement. Although its design is inspired by the vaults of the Seville Cathedral, due to its fungiform profile, it soon received the name ‘Las Setas’ from the citizens.
