The Las Setas tablao is a renowned flamenco performance venue located within the iconic Metropol Parasol, more affectionately called Las Setas de Sevilla, a historical monument and the largest wooden structure in the world. The name "Las Setas" translates to "The Mushrooms," a reference to the unique parasol shape that defines the parts of this structure.
A seemingly quirky design, it is steeped in a respect for local culture and history, representing the Cathedral of Seville's vaults and the ficus trees in the Plaza de Cristo de Burgos. In addition to the tablao, the venue is also home to a museum of Roman and Moorish remains, a market, an open-air plaza and performance space, and panoramic terraces. The Las Setas monument and the tablao it holds within it are symbols of Seville that uphold its distinct and storied history.
