10 Sights & Landmarks in Seville That You Shouldn't Miss

April 9, 2022 Randal Brittian

Originally founded as a Roman city and now home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Seville is bursting with antique charm. The Alcazar palace complex is a stunning collage of architectural styles, and the Cathedral will impress you with its beauty and its status as the burial site of Christopher Columbus. The Metropol Parasol is the world’s largest wooden structure, a massive mix of grids and swirls that contains a market and a terrace observatory.

Built on the edge of the Maria Luisa Park in the 1920s in a huge semi circle with bridges, moats and fountains this is definitely the number one spot to visit whilst in Seville.

Easy walking, pedestrianised, lots of restaurants and bars, superb tapas everywhere, great history, great architecture, lovely atmosphere, lots of good quality street musicians. Lots of shops, love this city

Les Visites du Campo Bravo

Enter in prestigious private farms in Andalusia. Approach the Toro (brave bull). Enjoy the unique experience of a visit in 4x4 in the secrets of Andalusian culture. After a reception in the patio you embark in 4x4 and evolve in total freedom, with your guide, amongst the cows, calfs and bulls in the marvelous dehesa of andalucia.

If you're in Seville, Les Vistes du Campo Bravo is a must. From the history, the culture, the art, and the overall experience, I would have to say this destination definitely surpassed our expectations! My bf and I were first welcomed by "Jc" and his dog or maybe the farm's dog not too sure and I forgot to ask! So make sure to ask because I'm quite curious. Jc started off by explaining to us the history of when men and bulls started to have some type of connection. I won't ruin the story for you all but I will let you know that he finishes his speech with modern-day today. After receiving some history he showed us the props or should I say the pieces that are used during this wonderful show you will all soon learn about. When you finally get to the "farm farm" I mean where these beautiful animals live gracefully in the wild, you will be in awe, Jc even allows you to get out of the car! "don't worry the bulls and cows will most likely go ahead with their business. I have to say that Jc really knows it all, he really knows how to articulate himself. Don't be discouraged, you will get a lot of information!! Also, ask questions because the man practically knows about everything in this field! Unfortunately because of COVID-19, we were not able to eat or have some drinks at the farm but Jc offered us a great recommendation just down the street. Not only did he give us the recommendation but he also drove us there and let us follow him in our car. (my bf and I had the Bulls tail for lunch as well as a platter of cured ham and cheese. I suggest getting the dry white wine it is delicious! (The name of the Restaurant is Casa Pedro) I would have to say this trip was definitely one for the books, I did not expect to leave the farm the way that I did. We had retained so much information and I could say that we left the farm with a completely different viewpoint than the one we had when we first walked in. I would recommend this place to anyone! Enjoy <3

Catedral de Sevilla

This majestic Cathedral dates back to the 15th century and claims to be the third largest building of its kind in the world.

Reviewed By WineEng - Green Valley, United States

This is THE site to visit when in Sevilla. Absolutely enormous, the largest gothic cathedral in the world consists of the main cathedral, many chapels, a small treasury and many memorials plus the converted bell tower. When busy, it’s much better to have purchased tickets in advance or be prepared to wait in long lines to hope to buy a ticket. It takes 2 1/2 - 3 hours to visit everything while stopping to enjoy the varied architecture. A Columbus is buried here so some come to see that. The organ has four banks with over 7000 pipes and can be heard at specific times during the week. Fantastic piece of history. Cheers!

Barrio Santa Cruz

The Barrio Santa Cruz used to be the Jewish quarter. The streets are narrow and form a labyrinth. It’s easy to get lost among the jasmine-scented streets… only to discover a convent or a palace or a hotel. Many of the palaces have wrought iron gates suitable for peeping into their beautiful patios. There are many small stores and some artisan shops, as well as good art galleries.

A free to enter museum with a British passport (at the moment) we were able to wander at leisure through a magnificent exhibition of religious art by one of Sevilles greatest exponent from the 17th Century. The statues were exceedingly lifelike and the paintings were real works of art. Well worth the 2 hours we spent which seemed like half an hour

This lovely structure was originally built as a minaret for a mosque, although it has since been converted into a bell tower.

Reviewed By Razeghian - Paris, France

This tower first has been constructed as a minaret of the masque by moorish caliphate in 10 or 11 century and then its changed to a bell tower of the cathedral when Christian conquered Seville in 12 century. I recomend to climb it and visit the town from 104m high tower.
