Pabellón de Marruecos - Sevilla, España - Permanent World Fair and Expo Structures on Waymarking.com

[ES] “El Pabellón de Marruecos para la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929 fue promovido por el Estado junto al de Guinea, para dar a conocer los territorios coloniales.

Se sitúa cerca del Paseo de las Delicias, en la avenida de Moliní, frente en la rotonda donde confluye la avenida de la Raza.

Es de estilo ecléctico, recordando a las mezquitas de Marruecos. Se encargó la realización del pabellón a José Gutiérrez Lescura, director de la Escuela de Bellas Artes de Tetuán y participando también el Pintor Mariano Bertuchi.

Terminada la Expo de 1929, y al encontrarse parcialmente abandonado, el Ayuntamiento solicitó al Alto Comisario Español en Marruecos la propiedad del Pabellón, ya que no pasaría a ser propiedad municipal hasta transcurridos 75 años desde su construcción. El 1957 se ubicó en este Pabellón el Servicio Municipal de Parques y Jardines, estando actualmente el Servicio Administrativo de Parques y Jardines, que está abierto al público en horario de oficina.”

[EN] “The Moroccan Pavilion for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 was promoted by the State together with that of Guinea, to publicize the colonial territories.

It is located near Paseo de las Delicias, on Moliní Avenue, in front of the roundabout where Avenida de la Raza meets.

It is eclectic in style, reminiscent of the mosques of Morocco. José Gutiérrez Lescura, director of the School of Fine Arts of Tetuán, was commissioned to create the pavilion, with the Painter Mariano Bertuchi also participating.

Once the 1929 Expo was over, and finding itself partially abandoned, the City Council asked the Spanish High Commissioner in Morocco for ownership of the Pavilion, since it would not become municipal property until 75 years had elapsed since its construction. In 1957, the Municipal Service of Parks and Gardens was located in this Pavilion, currently the Administrative Service of Parks and Gardens, which is open to the public during office hours.”
