23 Latin American countries together with Spain, Portugal and the United States took part in the Iberian-American Exposition, which was held from the 9th of May 1929 to the 21st of June of 1930. In 1911, Aníbal González won the architectural competition for the American Exposition with a historicist design. In the Plaza de América and the Plaza de España, Aníbal González displayed both monumentality and craftsmanship at their best, a style which the city was later to assume as its own. The Pavilion of Seville by Vicente Traver, known as the Casino of the Exposition, and the Lope de Vega theatre were built between 1927 and 1929 in neo-baroque style, inspired by Levantine designs. The so-called casino has a circular layout covered with a copula and finished with dome lantern. Next to the María Luisa park stand some of the pavilions whose style represent the typical architectural features of the country they represent. |
