The Andalucian capital and fourth largest city in Spain. It's also the most populated town in the south of Spain. Also, one of the most visited towns by foreign holiday makers. It has over three thousand years of history and is plainly a living museum. Visit Seville in the summer and the heat can be intolerable. It is thought to be one of the latest places in Europe.
Seville has over 3,000 years of history and is literally a living museum. Visit Seville in the summer and the heat can be unendurable. It is thought to be one of the hottest places in Europe.
Spring is more pleasant, which is when we visited Seville. However it is one of the most beautiful towns that we have visited in the whole of Spain. We managed to see almost all of it in 2 days.
The town was quite simple to navigate and driving around was unusually calm. The best spot to base yourself is in the old quarter, near the cathedral, as we did. From here you can walk to most sights. Here we have released some of them.
The most electrifying building in the town must be the most important gothic Cathedral in the world, building commenced in--01. In total the cathedral homes over 500 artistic endeavours, some of which are the most vital in the world.
The tallest tower in Spain stands in Seville, attached to the cathedral, La Giralda (Moorish Tower), 319 feet high, an expression of the town's significance. The tower is an ancient minaret of the Islamic Mosque and was erected in 1184. Its foundations utilise stones from Roman monuments.
The Torre del Oro or Golden Tower was built between 1221 and 1222 and was one of the last contributions from the Almohade period in Seville. It formed part of the last wall of defence that ran from the Alcazar to the creek. It is said that it gained its name from the sun's reflection on its gold tiles that once covered the dome. Today it houses the Naval Museum and all the gold has sadly been stolen. You will find it alongside the river, close to the bullring.
The Alcazar is a collection of Moorish Palaces on which building commenced in 931. It has over the years been the residence of many monarch. The buildings and gardens are enclosed by walls and coated with orange trees. So make the maximum of the Andalusian capital and venture over there to experience everything it has got to offer.
