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.

My first visit to Seville, wow! For many years I have loved Barcelona but Seville is a step up in so many ways. 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

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

Peaceful urban park decorated with fountains, sculptures and monuments.
The Park adjoins the amazing Plaza de Espana. it is a delightful park full of avenues, selections of trees/ plants and lovely water features with many, many birds. it is a perfect place in which to have a relaxing stroll "breathing in" the natural Spanish beauty.

We came across this interesting museum purely by chance. We were visiting the Plaza de Espana for a second time when we saw the signs for the museum. I'm a student of military history, with the Penisular War against Napoleon being one of my particular passions, so in we went as I knew that it would have much to interest me. Admittance is free although there is a donations box close to the exit point. We had to leave our bages in a locker from which we took the key and then had to pass through a scanner to enter the museum. I usually set such machines beeping as I have two metal hips, always a troublesome issue at airports, but I didn't set this scanner off. Perhaps someone should check out its settings? Anyway I found the museum to be fascinating with a great range of exhibits including model soldiers, uniforms, weapons both old and modern, ammunition, flags, coaches, cannon, gas masks including one for a horse, medals, buttons, unit shoulder patches, models of forts, the list is endless. Well worth visiting.

Plaza del Triunfo is a beautiful public space. It is surrounded by a lot of history and that is seen in buildings like the Cathedral, the Real Alcazar, the Convent of the Encarnación and the lovely atmosphere of the square itself. Its name goes back to the 18th century and is connected to the Portuguese capital Lisbon. When a devastating and powerful earthquake hit Lisbon, it was felt in Seville. At that very moment, according to tradition, worshippers were inside the Cathedral, during Mass. Undeterred, they went outside on to the square, where the Mass continued. Seville, as it turned out escaped the earthquake almost unscathed. In return they named the Square in remembrance of this event. A fitting monument to the Virgin Mary was also built there.
