Royal Alcazar of Seville
Since the early Middle Ages, this walled complex has served as the residence of kings from different periods, thus contributing in each case to its architectural legacy.
The importance of this impressive complex goes beyond its historical relevance, as it also constitutes one of the most beautiful architectural ensembles in the country, reflecting various artistic styles ranging from Mudejar to Renaissance.
Located in the heart of the city of Seville, the Real Alcázar of Seville is one of the oldest palaces in the world.
Plaza de España
Designed by the Sevillian architect Aníbal González for the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929, the Plaza de España is a symbol of the embrace between the old metropolis and its colonies.
Its semi-elliptical shape and its immense surface area of 50,000 square meters makes it the most imposing square in Spain.
The canal bordering the square, its bridges representing the ancient kingdoms, the semi-circular lake and the twin towers all contribute to the square's impotence.
Sevilla's Cathedral
"Let's build a temple so great that those who saw it wrought take us for crazy" were the words that drove the Cathedral of Seville, a building of colossal proportions that will not leave you indifferent.
You can admire the main altarpiece, considered one of the most outstanding works in the history of art, or visit the mausoleum where the remains of Christopher Columbus rest.
Torre del Oro
This tower was built for defensive purposes in the 13th century, on the banks of the Guadalquivir River. The 36-metre-high tower has three sections that reflect different architectural periods.
Built by the Almohads in its first two sections and completed with a third cylindrical section in the 18th century, the Torre del Oro defended the river entrance to the Puente de Barcas and guarded the access to the Arenal.
Nowadays, it has a naval museum on the two floors that can be visited and a panoramic terrace.
La Giralda
La Giralda stands majestically with the orange tree courtyard and the enormous Gothic cathedral. This tower, whose construction process lasted from the 12th to the 16th century, was for many years the tallest building in the world.
It was once the tallest tower in the world with an elevation of 97.5 metres and is one of the most famous images of the city and Andalusia.
