Seville as Planet Naboo: Celebrate Star Wars Day in a Real Galactic Location

Every year on May the 4th, fans around the world celebrate Star Wars Day. But did you know that one of the saga’s most beautiful planets was filmed right here on Earth — in Seville?

If you’re searching for a unique Seville travel experience, this is your chance to walk through a real Star Wars filming location and relive scenes from one of the most iconic movies in the franchise.

🎬 Seville as Planet Naboo in Star Wars

In Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, the stunning Plaza de España was used as the city of Theed on the planet Naboo.

This is where Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala share some of their most memorable moments — walking through grand arches, crossing elegant bridges, and enjoying the romantic scenery.

The filmmakers chose Seville for its unique blend of Renaissance and Moorish architecture, creating a setting that feels both regal and otherworldly.

The Plaza de España, built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, offers:

  • Monumental architecture
  • Symmetrical design and grand scale
  • Decorative ceramic details

All of these elements helped transform it into the capital of Naboo without heavy CGI.

For travelers, this means something incredible:
👉 You can visit a real Star Wars location that looks almost exactly the same as in the movie.
