In the burst of development that gripped Seville in the 1920s, it was redesigned for the 1929 Exhibition, and the impressive villas you see now are the fair's remaining pavilions, many of them consulates or schools; the old Casino holds the Teatro Lope de Vega, which puts on mainly musicals. Note the statue of El Cid by Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar (1043-99), who fought both for and against the Muslim rulers during the Reconquest.
