The Spanish Pavilion at the 1878 Paris Exposition Universelle was a Moorish Revival structure designed by architect Agustín Ortíz de Villajos. Built to represent Spain at the international fair, the pavilion embodied the 19th-century European fascination with Islamic architectural forms, translating Spain's Moorish heritage into a temporary exhibition building. The structure no longer survives, having been demolished after the exposition closed.
