Pabellón de la Navegación de la Expo 92
The Pabellón de la Navegación de la Expo 92 stands beside Seville’s Guadalquivir River, shaped by architect Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra.
It faces the historic centre from Isla de la Cartuja.
The building houses a museum dedicated to Atlantic navigation, maritime discoveries, ship technology, and life aboard vessels.
Its curved metal roof recalls old port warehouses.
A covered ramp connects the service areas and exhibition spaces, creating a route towards the quay, boats, river, and city.
Wooden beams and concrete elements define the structure.
Inside, the open exhibition hall uses ramps and galleries to form an internal street through the pavilion.
Light and sound create an ocean atmosphere.
The displays present historical figures, restored ship models, and a long mural by Gabriel Pacheco about navigation.
Interactive stations explore steering, sail handling, and sailors’ work aboard ships.
Touchscreens show historical images of Seville and its river.
The nearby Schindler Tower extends the maritime theme above the former exposition grounds.
Its white concrete section resembles a ship’s keel.
A metal stair structure and panoramic lifts lead towards a terrace overlooking Seville and the Guadalquivir.
The pavilion connects architecture, exploration, and riverfront history.
