Plaza de América

The Plaza de América, located in the Parque de María Luisa, was built by architect Aníbal González for the Ibero-American exhibition of 1929. The Plaza is flanked by three buildings, also built by González for the exhibition, in three distinct architectural styles: the Museum of Popular Arts, the Archaeological Museum, and the Royal Pavilion.

Filming locations

The site has served as a filming location for several notable productions. Scenes from the 1975 film The Wind and the Lion were shot here. Additionally, the episode "Mou Mou" from the fifth season of the Netflix series The Crown also featured scenes filmed at this location.
