Today The Dictator opens in theaters everywhere, starring Sasha Baron Cohn as a dictator desperate to keep democracy out of his oppressed country.

The dictator's fictional country of Wadiya recently launched its own tourism website promoting its many attractions like the Wadiyan State Zoo where, "many dozens of endangered species can be found caged, including pandas, white tigers, and Amnesty International officials." The site also endorses the Wadiyan Museum of Tolerance, "Open daily from 9 to 5. Women, Jews, and disabled not allowed."

Since Wadiya doesn't actually exist, producers searched the world for a location grand enough to stand in for the Wadiya Presidential Palace and they found it in Seville, Spain.

Seville's Plaza de España turned out to be the perfect location for the palace. It was built for the Ibero-american Exhibition of 1929 and remains one of Seville's most famous sights. Two towers frame the square with a network of galleries running between them, perfect for any dictator.

To see the Plaza de España, and other famous locations in Seville, you can purchase a tourist card for 24-120 hours at a discounted rate. A 24-hour card will grant you entry into two museums of your choice for €31.35.
