Seville (Sevilla) Spain Quiz: Where Are You?

When were the buildings built?

Take this fun quiz with a catch

These photos show three adjoining places within a few minutes walking distance of the cathedral in the center of the historic district in Seville (Sevilla in Spanish), Spain. These were once all parts of a single complex. The buildings, the plaza, and many portions of the park were completed within several years of each other.

Perhaps because there are so many sights in Seville, you may not see these on a list of the main historical spots, but they are wonderful nevertheless.

There are---

1.

A large semicircular building spectacular even by Seville standards,

2.

Part of a large plaza that fronts that building, and

3.

A beautiful park across the plaza, with additional buildings.

Either name the

• Spectacular building,
• Plaza that fronts it, and
• Park,

Or tell what these were parts of in total.

For extra credit, say when the entire complex was constructed.

Although the formal gardens of the Real Alcazar are so very beautiful and far better known than this park and other parks in Seville such as Prado de San Sebastian hold great beauty, I love the lushness and whimsy found in this park and the variety of its design styles that work so well together. It became my favorite in Seville.
