Last entry to the walkways is strictly enforced at 23:45, thirty minutes before the monument closes at midnight.
The site is entirely outdoors and offers very little shade on the upper levels, so sun protection is essential during summer months.

Interesting Facts about Setas de Sevilla
The structure is widely considered the largest wooden monument in the world and consists of approximately 3,500 individual timber pieces.
It was originally designed by German architect Jürgen Mayer, who won an international competition held by the city to revitalize the square.
The project was nicknamed Las Setas, which translates to The Mushrooms, due to the unique organic shape of the six parasols.
Despite its wooden appearance, the panels are held together by high-performance steel glue and coated in a protective polyurethane skin.
Construction was delayed for several years after the initial excavation revealed significant Roman and Moorish archaeological remains.
The timber used for the structure is Finnish Kerto birch, a micro-laminated wood known for its immense strength and durability.
The total cost of the project reached approximately 100 million euros, significantly exceeding the original estimated budget.
The panoramic walkway on the upper level stretches for 250 meters, winding across the top of the canopies like a serpent.
Plaza de la Encarnación, where the monument stands, was previously the site of a traditional 19th-century market that was demolished in 1973.
The "Aurora" light show utilizes a sophisticated LED system that changes patterns based on the air temperature and movement of the wind.
The Antiquarium museum in the basement is located 5 meters below street level to preserve the original position of the ruins.
The entire structure is 150 meters long and 70 meters wide, covering nearly the entire footprint of the public square.
A specialized immersive film called "Feeling Sevilla" uses 4D technology and sensory effects like scent to showcase the city's traditions.
The monument has become the most visited contemporary landmark in Seville since it officially opened to the public in 2011.
The architectural style is often described as "blobism," a movement characterized by curved, rounded, and non-geometric organic forms.
