Setas de Sevilla ("Mushrooms of Seville") or Las Setas ("The Mushrooms"), initially titled Metropol Parasol, is a large, predominantly wood structure located at La Encarnación square in the old quarter of Seville, Spain. It accommodates a traditional market, restaurants, a performance square, archaeological museum — and 'rooftop' terrace with a panoramic view of Seville's old city.

Selected from 65 submissions in a city-sponsored competition, the structure was designed by German architect Jürgen Mayer, was completed in April 2011,^[1] and is roughly 150 by 70 metres (490 by 230 ft) with an approximate height of 26 metres (85 ft).^[2]

Initially beset with technical problems as well as budget and schedule overruns, the parasols are constructed of 3,500 cubic meters of micro-laminated Finnish pine^[3] and are marketed as the world's largest wooden structure.^[4]

Since their opening, the parasols have become Seville's third-most visited urban landmark.^[5]
