The Metropol Parasol is located in Plaza de la Encarnació n. Once upon a time there was an unattractive area of ​ ​ ​ ​ Seville on this place and the authorities decided to ennoble it. During construction work on the square, houses and mosaics dating back to the Roman era were discovered. This historical find dictated the shape of the Metropol Umbrella, which now serves as a museum - a shelter for the found values. The complex began construction in 2006 and opened in April 2011 at a whopping $130 million.→
