SEVILLE

It is clear that Seville has a special attraction, both for the charm of its streets, and for the way in which the people of Seville welcome all foreigners who come to see the city, which clearly makes us a destination of excellence. 

Celebrations and traditions of the city, such as the April Fair and Holy Week are also a great attraction for people from outside and inside Seville. But Seville is much more than this, it is the birthplace of many great artists throughout history. In addition, it is a city that hides curiosities that anyone who visits it should know. Either because it is a city with more than 25,000 orange trees, brought from China, because the Almohads thought that it was a tree that granted happiness. So when spring arrives and the orange blossom begins to bloom, the city has a very special and characteristic aroma.  

It is also a city that is gastronomically extraordinary and that offers a culinary offer of great variety and possibilities, many of them based on "tapas". It is said that the origin of the tapa dates back to the 16th century , when King Alfonso XIII reigned. The monarch ordered a sherry to drink and the waiter improvised a 'tapa' with a slice of ham to please the monarch, something that amused him and he did not hesitate to ask for another sherry with a 'tapa'.

Seville has a series of peculiarities, whether they are little known or not. In addition to having the largest Gothic Cathedral in the world, the Seville capital has the largest bronze sculpture of the Renaissance, which is located on top of the Giralda. It is, therefore, the weather vane that crowns the monument and is known as the Giraldillo. 

We could mention its notable Roman past, which is inexorably linked to that of Itálica, a Roman city that was created by the Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio, so that his soldiers could rest after the victory achieved against the Carthaginians in the 3rd century BC or its passed as a door to the "new world" back in 1492, emphasizing that it is a city in which when the Spanish empire was known as 'the empire where the sun does not set', the Port of Seville was the most important of the world , since it was the only point of connection as a port of the New World. In fact, it is the only city that has a commercial port that is not on the sea, but on the Guadalquivir river.

TORRE DEL ORO

Abù l-Ulà,

the Almohad governor of the city, was the one who built the Torre del Oro, a watchtower that is located on the left bank of the Guadalquivir river. In the first third of the 13th century, it formed part of the walled enclosure that served as a defense for the city and the Real Alcázar. In 1931 it was declared a historical-artistic monument, having been restored on numerous occasions during the Contemporary Age. It is possibly, together with the Giralda, the greatest symbol of Seville. However, the height of the Torre del Oro, at 36 meters, represents approximately a third of that of the Giralda, which rises 94 meters from the ground. its most recent rehabilitation being that of the year 2005. It is currently the headquarters of the Naval Museum of Seville. 

It is believed that its name comes from the golden glow that the tower reflects on the Guadalquivir River, especially at sunrise and sunset, creating a spectacular environment for everyone who sees it. 

Royal Alcazar

The fortress on which the Reales Alcázares de Sevilla stand is built first on a Roman settlement and later on a Visigoth . Since 720 AD, the Arabs have used it as the residence of their rulers and, after the Reconquest of Seville, the monument is occupied by Ferdinand III and the successive monarchs.

Among the curiosities to highlight is the Arab cistern under the Patio del Crucero, known as the Baños de María de Padilla (although they are not baths). The name is due to a legend about María de Padilla, lover of King Pedro I the Cruel, who bathed in them. It is a fact that the love professed by the king was such that she, after dying, was proclaimed queen and they validated her marriage. 

 The Patio de las Doncellas , which could be the best known of the monument, named after another legend that tells that the Muslim rulers of Seville asked the northern Christian kingdoms for 100 virgin maidens . It is not known why the room was named like that, but it is a fact that the 100 virgins were a widespread myth in the Middle Ages that was used to justify the wars of the Reconquest among Christians. 

Spain Square

Projected on the occasion of the Ibero-American exhibition of 1929, and semi-circular in appearance, each of the benches that we find represents the different provincial capitals of Spain, but instead of having 50 there are only 48. This responds to a reason, and it is that when the square was built, the Canary Islands only had one province.

Given its beauty, it has been a constant source of cinematographic inspiration. Among them we find classics such as Lawrence of Arabia or The Wind and the Lion, as well as more current ones such as Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones or The Dictator, among other productions such as television series. 

Cathedral of Seville

It is a monument declared a World Heritage Site since 1987, as well as being an asset of exceptional universal value. It is the largest Gothic-style cathedral in the world and the third largest in the world.

Among its curiosities it can be said that, being built on the surface of a mosque, it has a square floor plan, not having the shape of a Latin cross in its structure. It has a bell tower made on an old minaret from which they used to pray. For many centuries, it was the tallest tower in Spain, reaching 104 meters high. It has other curiosities such as the chains that surround the enclosure of the cathedral itself or the vaults that structure it, but we prefer that you come and unravel all the secrets that await you here.

Triana neighborhood

Triana is a neighborhood that, among other issues, is characterized by its bridge, which was built in iron between 1845 and 1852 by the engineers Gustavo Steinacher and Ferdinand Bennetot and replaced the original Barcas bridge. It was declared a National Historical Monument since 1976, after overcoming a demolition attempt.

The neighborhood itself has been, among other things, one of the focuses of black history in Spain because the Castle of San Jorge, a Visigothic fortification, was the seat of the Holy Spanish Inquisition since 1481 . Centuries later, the castle was demolished to enlarge the Plaza del Altozano and thus create the food market.

Indies Archive

Created in 1785 by Carlos III, the General Archive of the Indies in Seville is one of the most emblematic buildings in the city. Its walls protect centuries of history, as it was the only place that housed all the documentation related to the Spanish colonies to date. The headquarters of the Archivo de Indias is the Casa Lonja de Mercaderes de Sevilla , where before the construction of the building, the merchants carried out their business on the steps of the Cathedral and when it rained they took shelter in the Cathedral. Its architect was Juan de Herrera , responsible for works such as the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. 

The Archivo de Indias was created for two reasons. In the first place, the absence of space in the General Archive of Simancas , the central archive of the Crown and, on the other hand, under the intention of creating adequate documentation on the history of Spanish colonization . The reason why it responds to the name 'de Indias' is linked to Christopher Columbus. The navigator was convinced when he left for America in 1492 that he was heading to the Indies. Today it is the largest archive in Spainabout the history of our country in America and the Philippines. It has unique documents with the signature of great historical figures such as Christopher Columbus, Hernán Cortes or Francisco Pizarro. As a curiosity it can be said that, on the exterior walls of the Archivo de Indias, there are some reddish inscriptions. These 'graffiti' are cheers and were put up to commemorate celebrations or as a sign of recognition of someone for having obtained a doctorate.
