In the 20th<\/sup> century Seville lived an evolution, something that we\u2019ve inherited as citizens of the 21st<\/sup> century.\u00a0At the beginning of the century Regionalist art developed, which mixed together the different Sevillian artistic traditions. Actually, its birth is related to European Historical art which rescued traditional architecture and modernised it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition of \u201829<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Regionalism is intimately related to the Exposition of 1929 or the Ibero-American exhibition, which took place in Seville and tried to unite and twin the American countries which had been colonies of the Spanish Empire, and whose union link was this city. Thanks to this event, the authorities took advantage to modernise and reform the historic centre by constructing new buildings in this very style. And so great regionalist architects rose up, like Anibal Gonzalez, Jose Espiau, or Juan Talavera y Heredia, who designed constructions of exceptional beauty. The most significant is, without a doubt, Spain Square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Advances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, for the whole country the years in the middle of the century meant the Civil War, post war and dictatorship.\u00a0It wasn\u2019t until the end of the 70s that the city had its second step towards modernisation, building the airport, changing the river route so as not to suffer from flooding, and building new neighbourhoods. With the improvement of communication like roads and bus and train stations Seville started to receive some tourists, although the majority only stopped on their way to the beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Exhibition of \u201992 and on towards the future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The dictatorship was now over and with Seville as the capital of Andalusia, an event occurred in 1992 that still prevails in the Sevillian and Spanish collective memory.\u00a0It had been 500 years since the discovery of America, and, again, there wasn\u2019t a better place to commemorate it than in Seville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Exhibition of \u201892\u2019 brought new technology, new transport, new research, and new people that were interested in discovering what was behind the fa\u00e7ade of this \u2018little city\u2019 located in the south of Spain.\u00a0Seville never stopped being a welcoming city to visitors, with an open mind and tolerance (more than what the black legend has made us believe) a result of its mix of peoples and cultures which now in the time of human rights and knowledge, looks on towards the future trying to remember a little more of its past, to rise from its ashes and be the great city it always was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
