Torre Triana
building in Seville Province, Spain
Torre Triana is an administrative building belonging to the Junta de Andalucía in Sevilla, Spain. Built in 1993, it stands at 55 m (180 ft) tall with 8 floors and was designed by the Navarrese architect Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza.
History
It is located on the Isla de la Cartuja in Seville, and is one of the largest administrative buildings of the Regional Government of Andalusia. It houses the central offices of the current Ministries of Economy, Finance and European Funds, and of Educational Development and Vocational Training, corresponding to the 12th Legislature, employing approximately two thousand civil servants.
Although it was standing during the 1992 Seville Universal Exposition, which was held nearby, it was not finished and put into use until 1993. Architect de Oiza was inspired by the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome.
With a postmodern style and ochre yellow color, its circular shape makes it very unique. The facade of the building is cladded in Amarillo Triana, a local sortiment of marble, which was named after the complex while it was being built.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Torre Triana” as building in Seville Province, Spain. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as building in Seville Province, Spain. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3532450. Authority coordinates are 37.394, -6.012. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993 and 1992.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
