What people say

"It is part of the urban-artistic complex created for the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929. This square, designed by Aníbal González and located next to the Parque de María Luisa, is surrounded by three palaces of different architectural styles that were built for the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929. The first, neo-Gothic, is the Royal Pavilion. The second, neo-Mudejar, houses the Museum of Popular Arts and Customs, and the last, neo-Renaissance, is the Provincial Archaeological Museum, where the Carambolo Treasure (the most important discovery of prehistoric goldsmithery) is preserved."

" Go for a stroll in Maria Luisa park, located next to the square. It’s a great spot to get some fresh air and calm. If you still have time, head to the Plaza America, at the southern edge of the park. There are 2 museums there: the Archaeological Museum and the Museum of popular Arts and Traditions."
"Located within Parque de María Luisa, Plaza de América is an elegant square featuring three grand buildings that serve as exhibition halls. Each building showcases different architectural styles and houses various museums."
