Seville Light Fountain

A touch of Spain in the City of Fountains

What makes it fun

This fountain was given to the city by Miller Nichols, the son of Country Club Plaza developer J. C. Nichols, and was dedicated in October 1967. The neighboring Giralda Tower, which was recently finished and dedicated to recognize the new Sister City relationship between Kansas City and Seville, Spain, inspired the creation of the fountain. The fountain is an identical duplicate of Seville's famed Plaza de la Virgen de los Reyes's la Fuente Farola, a fountain-lamppost. The thirty-foot-tall fountain has an iron lamppost and was fashioned from different types of red and white marble. Before reaching the base's 20-foot reflection pool, water passes through four Roman grotesque masks and scalloped basins.

Being a former resident of Sevilla it was a little taste of home.

Pretty fountain and sculpted light fixture in keeping with the Plaza's Iberian-influenced architectural theme.

What can we say around these parts? When it comes to the plaza, well, its the Plaaaza. Kansas City's sister city is Seville, Spain. The architecture of this area of town reflects that as seen in this fantastic fountain on the western entrance.Over 24 feet tall it has had water run through it before and would be spectacular in duo with its neighbor J.C. Nichols fountain across the way.The Seville Light Fountain helps make a grand entrance to an area of town we love to visit.

Super cool fountain and light. There's not much else to say here, except how cool it is. Walk around town and make sure you take a look for yourself. There are quite a few fountains in the area and a nearby park. Kansas City was a real treat. We will be back in a few years to see how it continues to grow.
