Plaza de España - Balcony: Star Wars Filming Location

Plaza de España’s Gallery Walkway in Seville is a defining example of early 20th‑century regionalist design built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. Designed by Aníbal González, the semicircular red-brick complex surrounds a grand plaza, a canal, and a network of tiled alcoves that celebrate Spain’s provinces. Today the site exudes cinematic grandeur as visitors wander beneath ornamental bridges and vibrant azulejo tiles that shimmer in the southern sun. Its most famous claim to fame is serving as Naboo’s capital Theed in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, a testament to how real-world spaces can become iconic movie backdrops. The atmosphere balances regal splendor with lively public life, especially at dawn or golden hour when the light lends the tiles and arches a timeless glow.
