What to do and see in Casco Antiguo, Andalucia: The Best Things to do

July 29, 2021 Jacquiline Delozier

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.

Azahar Sevilla Tapas Tour

This is the tapas tour you want to take if you don't want to feel like you are on a tour. I have lived in Sevilla since 1993 and started my internationally recognised food & wine website in 2007. I am also a certified Sherry Educator. My tapas tours grew organically via the site, and I have been happily taking people out on “tapeos” for more than ten years. So join me and my team to experience an authentic tapas crawl with small groups of 2-6 people (you would never see locals going out in groups of 10-12). We'll visit some of Sevilla’s best bars and enjoy an excellent selection of tapas & wines while learning about the art of bar-hopping, tapas etiquette, and the origins and history of tapas. Lunchtime or evening tapas tours last about 3.5 hours. Click on the website link to see other options available such as Market & Tapas, Flamenco & Tapas, Sherry & Tapas... it's all about the tapas!

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.

Quaint little streets, lots of interesting features and souvenir shops selling lots of local ceramics, tapas bar, flamenco shows, a must see visit .. all alleyway lead to the centre of Seville and the cathedral

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.

The Casa de Pilatos is famous for its magnificent patio and well-kept gardens, while the precious coloured ceramic tiles are considered to be among the finest in Seville. The Casa de Pilatos has around 150 different 1530s Spanish glazed tile. designs made by the brothers Diego and Juan Pulido, one of the largest azulejo collections in the world.

Torre Giralda

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.
