Things to do in Seville, Andalucia: The Best Architectural Buildings

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.

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

Construction of this palace began in 1492. Today, part of the palace is a museum and is open to the public. There is a separate wing where the present Duchess of Medinaceli lives with her descendants and family. The palace has many gardens, patios, fountains, and salons. The patios contain many Roman statues. Everywhere on the first floor one will find Roman mosaic floors. The walls are covered with beautiful ceramic tile in many different Mudejar styles.

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

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.

Few people visit this minuscule Square of Santa Marta, simply because people do not know about its existence. It was part of a convent in the past. Nowadays is a quite little corner of Seville, just of of the square behind the cathedral.
