From its best monuments to large outdoor spaces, Seville is a city with a good lifestyle, with places to rest and a beautiful historical area that does not leave you indifferent. We have a list of many things that you are going to want to see, and surely there are still many more that are left out.
Royal Alcazar of Seville
The old quarter of the city of Seville goes a long way, and of course we had to start with something as beautiful as the Real Alcazar, a fortified palace where you can see the heritage of different historical stages, from the Mudejar to the Gothic. It had an Islamic and a Christian period, and the original fortification dates from the Middle Ages. Inside we can make a long visit in which we will pass through various patios and rooms, all of great beauty. Do not forget a fundamental element such as its beautiful gardens.
Cathedral of Santa Maria de la Sede
This is the largest Gothic-style Christian cathedral in the world. Currently, the Giralda is part of it, since the cathedral is located on land where a great mosque was located, which was demolished to build the new cathedral to early XNUMXth century. In it we can visit the old Patio de los Naranjos, next to which there are several libraries. On the other hand, inside there are chapels, the tomb of Christopher Columbus, altarpieces and altars.
Giralda
Although the Giralda forms part of the cathedral current as its bell tower, the truth is that it shines by itself. It was the old minaret of the mosque and it still retains the same style, similar to that of the Koutoubia mosque in Marrakech. This tower is a hybrid, since the upper part belongs to the new Christian era, where the bells are located.
tower of Gold
If you are going to walk along the Guadalquivir, you will surely reach the well-known tower of Gold. It was built in the XNUMXth century and for a long time it was thought that the fame of its brilliance was due to the fact that it had been covered with tiles, although it was finally found that its coating was lime with pressed straw. Around this tower you can find many tourist offers, from buses to see the city to small river cruises.
Plaza of Spain
They say that it is one of the most beautiful in the world and it is no wonder. It is located in the Maria Luisa Park but, like the Giralda, it deserves a special section. It is semi-elliptical in shape and has a central fountain.
Maria Luisa Park
If what we want is to take a break from the city, here we have the first urban city park. It is a fairly extensive park, with the Plaza de España, several roundabouts and the Plaza de América. It is advisable to take a map and go to the points of interest, although if we have time we can always let ourselves go and walk quietly discovering corners.
General Archive of the Indies
This file was created by order of Carlos III in the eighteenth century to unify in one place the documentation of the management that was carried out in the former Spanish overseas territories. The building has a beautiful Herrerian Renaissance style and admission is free.
Isabel II Bridge
This bridge is known as the Triana Bridge, since it connects the center with the Triana neighborhood. It is interesting that it was built in 1852 and it is the oldest iron bridge built in Spain. On our walk along the river, in addition to seeing the Torre del Oro, we can see other bridges that cross the Guadalquivir, such as the Puente del Alamillo or the Puente de la Barqueta.
Pilate's House
This beautiful Andalusian palace They have a style that mixes the Italian Renaissance with the Mudejar style. It is considered the most beautiful Sevillian palace and is located next to the Plaza de Pilatos. It dates from the XNUMXth century and was the residence of the Dukes of Medinaceli.
Museum of Fine Arts
The Museum of Fine Arts is a must for all those with artistic and cultural concerns. Located in the Plaza del Museo, it is housed in a building in the Andalusian mannerist style. Inside we find 14 rooms arranged chronologically, with works by artists like Zurbarán.
