Architecture Programs in Sevilla
A purpose-built, faculty-centered study abroad experience in one of Europe’s most architecturally layered cities.
SEVILLA AS A LIVING LABORATORY
Sevilla offers an exceptional architectural landscape shaped by centuries of cultural layers. Roman foundations, Islamic urban principles, Mudéjar craftsmanship, Gothic and Renaissance interventions, and contemporary design coexist in a dense, walkable city center.
Plaza de España
Constructed for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, the Plaza de España exemplifies Spain’s architectural blend of Renaissance Revival and Neo-Mudejar styles, symbolizing unity among the nation’s provinces.
Metropol Parasol (Las Setas)
Completed in 2011, this innovative wooden structure by architect Jürgen Mayer merges modern engineering with public space design, redefining the heart of Sevilla’s historic center.
Seville School of Dramatic Arts
18th-century building known for being a breeding ground for great performers such as Pablo de Olavide
Torre Sevilla
Completed in 2016, Torre Sevilla rises 180 meters above the Guadalquivir River as a symbol of the city’s forward-looking urban development and economic vitality.
