Pabellón Real
Pabellón Real stands in Seville’s Plaza de América, south of María Luisa Park. Its polygonal form and pointed arches show the neo-Gothic style designed by Aníbal González. Brick walls, blue-and-white ceramic cresting, and tiled lower sections shape the exterior. Three other sides carry ceramic shields representing Spain, while royal page statues guard the front corners.
Built between 1911 and 1916, the pavilion served the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. Its original purpose was to house the Spanish royal family’s art collections during that event. The surrounding square brings together three González buildings, including neo-Mudejar and neo-Renaissance neighbours. Six eagles by José Ordóñez stand outside, each holding shields of Spain and other Spanish territories. Municipal offices now occupy the building, so visitors appreciate its decoration from the square rather than inside.
