A seismic isolation sliding bearing for a structure, is made up of a dish 1 having a conical concave surface having a predetermined inclination or a spherical concave surface in its central portion, and a bearing element 2 in which the bearing element includes a base 3 whose portion for contact with the concave surface of the dish 1 is formed by a low-friction material, and a holder 6 which holds the base 3 so as to press it against the concave surface of the dish 1. The seismic isolation sliding bearing of the present invention neither resonates to the vibration period of any earthquake nor causes a large oscillation during a normal small vibration, but has a restoring force because of its structure which enables the bearing element to readily return to its original position after an earthquake ceases.
