Things to do in Seville, Andalucia: The Best History Museums

September 5, 2021 Oliva Fomby

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.

Archaeological Museum of Sevilla

CLOSED FOR RENOVATION. Andalucía’s most important archaeological collection, housed in a pavilion in Maria Luisa Park, charts everything from the Neolithic age, through the Roman occupation to the time of the Moors. The stand-outs are a statuette of Astarte-Tanit, a Phoenician fertility goddess who held the Mediterranean in thrall around the 8th-century BC, and the Carambolo Treasures, a stunning hoard of gold jewelry from the 6th century which shows clear Oriental influence--and may leave you musing about the people who lived in Andalucía 1500 years ago. Closed on Mondays.

A wonderful collection, extending from the earliest hominids in the region to Roman times, including the originals of various mosaics moved from Italica for safe keeping.

Centro Ceramica Triana

Reviewed By Creschendo - Sydney, Australia

When you walk past this place you think maybe it’s a small exhibit, run commercially and associated with one if the ceramic stores, or a least I did. In fact it’s an extensive exhibit, run by the city (& free if you show your Alcázar ticket). The centre has been created on the site of one of the major ceramic operations from the golden era and weaves around the kilns and other production structures from that time. The display is brought to life with excellent story boards in Spanish and English, numerous displays of different ceramic styles and video commentary by former workers from the site itself.Upstairs the story of Triana itself is told, equally fascinating. Not to be missed !
