'A twentieth century tiled location in Seville not to be missed is the Plaza de España dominated by a monumental brick building designed by Anibal Gonzales for the Ibero-America Exhibition of 1929. It was constructed in a semi-circle around a large square. Set against the lower half of the building are 50 tiled benches symbolizing Spain's 50 provinces. Every bench has a central pictorial panel depicting a significant historical event from each province.' You may recognize the Plaza de España from the "Star War" films. If you check out the second "Star Wars" episode (Attack of the Clones), you can watch the young Anakin and Padmeyou walking over the bridge and along the corridors of Plaza de España buildings
