Metropol Parasol, also called Setas de Sevilla, stands on La Encarnación square in the old quarter of Seville, Spain. German architect Jürgen Mayer H. designed it. The city sponsored the design competition, and Sacyr managed construction, which ran from June 2005 to April 2011.
The structure is roughly 492 feet (150 meters) by 230 feet (70 meters) and about 85 feet (26 meters) high. It is made of micro-laminated Finnish pine.
Its six parasols house a central market, an archaeological museum, a public plaza and panoramic terraces. The article does not name an architectural style, and it names the city only as sponsor of the competition. The article gives construction years of 2005 to 2011.
