Seville at night from the top of Las Setas - the Mushrooms

This is a visionary and inspired piece of art and urban design - Las Setas.

 

They are a group of giant mushroom-style structures, joined together at the top, and dropped straight into the middle of a square in Seville, like some life form from outer space.

 

Viewed from below, they are magical. What makes them even more special, however, is that you can walk across the top of them, giving you fabulous views of the city.

 

Cities need show-stopping public art like this.

 

Some say projects like this are elitist, and only for the few.

 

This was 3 Euros to get in, absolutely packed, and with locals and visitors alike, all of them spellbound.
