I fell in love with the wonderful ornate tilework. The art was exquisite.

The Metrapol Parasol is amazing! Lit up at night it is spectacular.

The Amazing Metropol Parasol in Seville

Posted on by Opher

The amazing Metropol Parasol designed by the German architect Jürgen Mayer and completed in April 2011 is an incredible piece of modern architecture. It looks amazing – particularly when lit up at night. I couldn’t stop taking shots of it. It augments the old stone architecture of the city so well.

I just adore Islamic Art and architecture with its elaborate patterns and great use of colour.

The Alcazar in Seville epitomised it for me.

This was an amazing structure. I loved walking round it and could not stop taking pictures – particularly at night.

One of the things I enjoyed was the juxtaposition of the old and new. It worked for me!
