Separate from Seville's yearly Spring Fair, the city hosted the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, the World's Fair for that year. The Plaza de Espana, one of the city's most prominent architectural landmarks, was constructed for the Fair, as was the Parque Maria Luisa. Here in a bold, Art Deco rendering, an allegorical figure of the Glory of the Iberias sits on her throne with the magnificent backdrop of the city behind her.
