The Moroccan Pavilion, a landmark structure constructed for the 1929 Exhibition in Spain, reportedly sustained significant damage from vandalism and looting in recent days, according to Spanish online newspaper ABC de Sevilla.
The building, which housed the Parks and Gardens delegation until March this year, currently stands vacant.
The same source explained that the landmark building was transferred to the Pablo de Olavide University a year and a half ago with the intention of developing an international social, cultural, and academic center.
However, the building has remained unoccupied due to ongoing accessibility and emergency exit construction tenders.
Gaining entry by damaging the main door, the perpetrators reportedly stole electrical wiring and caused significant damage to the building.
The Pablo de Olavide University (UPO) reported the incident to local authorities, who are currently investigating with two individuals identified as possible suspects by ABC de Sevilla.
The same source emphasized that university representatives have clarified that the damaged area is an annex of the building that holds no historical value.
The main hall of the pavilion, featuring valuable coffered ceilings and plasterwork, remains largely intact, reported ABC de Sevilla
The university representatives confirmed that private security measures have already been implemented for the property.
