Pabellón de la Navegación, Maritime museum at Isla de la Cartuja, Seville, Spain.
The Navigation Pavilion is a museum building on Isla de la Cartuja dedicated to maritime history and exploration. The structure features curved metallic roofing and contains exhibition spaces focused on navigation, ships, and seafaring traditions.
The pavilion was built in 1992 for Seville's World Exposition and designed to celebrate maritime exploration. It serves as a reminder of the city's importance as a historic port and center of navigation studies.
The place reflects Seville's deep connection to river navigation and seafaring traditions through its exhibits. You can see how maritime knowledge shaped the city's development and role as a major port.
The museum is accessible by public transport and pedestrian bridges from the city center. Plan to spend a couple of hours inside, as the climate-controlled interior differs from the outdoor riverside area.
The site features a separate observation tower at the end of a pier extending into the river. From this vantage point you can see the historic city skyline and the river's path in ways most visitors overlook.
