The shiny and sunbathed city is the home of Flamenco and Andalusian culture in general. Its rich heritage is mirrored on its streets and monuments, especially in the old town where scenes of romance are on every corner. Come to Plaza Nueva, the best place to experience the city’s character. Notice the city council and the equestrian statue of King San Fernando.
We then go to the most famous landmark of Seville, the Catedral de Santa María de la Sede, the largest gothic church in Spain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the final resting place of Christopher Columbus. La Giralda, a former minaret that belonged to a mosque on top of which the cathedral was built, now serves as the Cathedral's bell-tower, rebuilt in two styles, Spanish Renaissance and Moorish. Parallel to the cathedral, see the impressive architecture of the Archivo General de Indias, that houses 43 thousand historical records of the discovery of the New World.
Get a glimpse of the Real Alcázar, once a moorish castle that became the residence of the royal family and is still one of the best examples of Mudejar architecture. Come through the old city of Seville, to the cathedral, the Alcázar and the main highlights of the capital of Andalucia.
