What to do and see in Seville, Andalucia: The Best Historic Sites

March 25, 2022 Terina Blouin

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.

Museo Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrija

Reviewed By travelling-model - Hong Kong, China

Museo PALACIO de la condesa de lebrjais a house-museum in central Seville, you must take a private tour in order to visit the upper floor of the house. Dating to the 16th century and remodeled between the 18th and 20th centuries. The art collections of the house are very interesting and and unique which included a veriety of Roman mosaics and other antiquities as well as Asia art and even a couple of European master-Rubens paintings. The interior of the palace is decorated in a palette of architectural styles, with elements such as Moorish arches, Plateresque decoration, tilework retrieved from ruined convent, a coffered ceiling from a 16th-century palace and a Renaissance frieze, while its façade and layout reflect typical Andalusian style. This mansion is interesting and different compared to other attractions in Seville. I like here much and it's very Instagrammable and photogenic. Don't miss it if you love to post photos in social media. It's definitely will catch a lot of attentions. 這是塞維利亞中心的一座私人屋苑博物館。 它的歷史可追溯到16世紀,並在18和20世紀之間亦進行了改建。這所房子的藝術品收藏非常有趣且獨特,其中包括各種羅馬馬賽克、古董、亞洲藝術,甚至還有幾幅由歐洲名家魯本斯的畫作。 宮殿的內部包括摩爾拱門,Plateresque裝飾,從毀壞的修道院中回收的瓷磚,16世紀宮殿的方格天花板和文藝復興時期的,其立面和佈局反映出典型的安達盧西亞風格。 由於遊客不多。我在這裡可以自由拍攝了很多美麗的照片,真是不容錯過的景點。
