Itinerary

The Mushrooms of Seville

If you hadn't heard about Seville mushrooms before arriving, chances are you'll be surprised! This is the Metropol Parasol Park, more commonly known as Las Setas de Sevilla, that is to say, the mushrooms of Seville.

Palace of the Marquis of La Motilla

The beautiful building at the corner of the street is the Palace of the Marquis de la Motilla. Seville is full of sumptuous palace houses, which are so many hidden treasures waiting to be discovered!

Sierpes Street

You now reach Sierpes Street, one of Seville's main shopping streets. This narrow pedestrian street is still very busy and is one of the busiest in the city.

Plaza Nueva

We reach Plaza Nueva, on the other side of the City Hall. As its name suggests, it is the city's new public square.

Plaza de Toros

Here you are in front of another emblematic image of the city of Seville and one of the most visited places, its Plaza de Toros. It is the largest and most important bullfighting arena in Spain.

Guadalquivir

Seville owes it all to him. This is what we call the great river in Arabic: The Guadalquivir. This river, which is the only navigable river in Spain, has brought it fame and wealth.

Triana neighborhood

So here you are on the other bank, along Betis Street, which was the name given by the Romans to Guadalquivir. You are in the bohemian and flamenco neighborhood of Triana.

Santa Ana Church

You are in the small square of the Santa Ana Church, the most famous in the neighborhood. It's even called Triana Cathedral!

Torre de Oro

The San Telmo bridge that takes you back to the left bank allows you to have an unobstructed view of the iconic Torre de Oro.

San Telmo Palace

Here is another impressive building, even the most elegant, in Seville: the San Telmo Palace. It is a large rectangle flanked by four towers and has a large central patio.

Royal Tobacco Factory

Another famous building in Seville, here you are in front of the royal tobacco factory. The New World did not only bring gold to Europe, it also introduced a fascinated population to a miraculous plant: tobacco.

Lope de Vega Theater

Here you are in front of the beautiful Lope de Vega Theater. It was built at the base for the 1929 Ibero-American Universal Exhibition and was called the theater of the exhibition at the time.

Maria Luisa Park

You are now crossing a part of Maria Luisa Park which leads you to the Spanish Steps. These gardens, which formerly belonged to the Palace of San Telmo, were bequeathed to the municipality by Princess Marie-Louise, from whom it takes its name.

Plaza España

Right in the heart of the magnificent Spanish Steps, you can imagine that there is something special behind this place. No city in the world creates this kind of place for no reason!

The big trees of Seville

You are in the Prado de San Sebastian garden, literally, the Meadow of San Sebastian. It is located on the site of the ancient hermitage of San Sebastian, built in the 13th century, which gave it its name.

Murillo Gardens

You enter the Murillo Gardens, which run along the Alcazar and separate the old town from the southern district of Seville. If they are so beautiful and have such a botanical variety, it is because they belonged to the Alcazar until 1862.

Rosina's balcony

Seville has been well known in France for a very long time. No low-cost flights to come and discover the wonders of Andalusia, but the pen of Beaumarchais to imagine the romantic life of its inhabitants.

San Jose del Carmen Convent

On your right is the entrance to the church of the Convent of San José del Carmen, known as Little Teresa. It is a cloistered Catholic convent that was founded in 1586 by Santa Teresa for the Order of the Discalced Carmelites.

Santa Cruz neighborhood

You are in the heart of the Santa Cruz neighborhood, probably the most beautiful neighborhood in the city. In any case, it is the most picturesque with its paved streets with white and yellow houses.

Hospital of the Venerables

The beautiful Baroque building that you see on this square is the Hospital of the Venerables. It was built at the end of the 17th century to accommodate churchmen weakened by their age.

The Alcazar

You are now getting to the heart of the matter, and it's not the hustle and bustle around you that's going to say the opposite. The red door you see, from which a long queue starts, is the Leos Gate, the entrance to the Alcazar.

Abdel Aziz Tower

On your left, see the ancient tower that forms the corner. It would go almost unnoticed! However, it is one of the remains of the fortress built by the Almohads around the old city center in the middle of the 12th century.

General Archives of India

This large square monument is the building of the General Archives of India. As you can imagine, we are talking here about Christopher Columbus's Indies, that is to say, the Americas.

Seville Cathedral

So, you have noticed, here, the quantity of things to see per square meter is impressive! But here is the one you have all been waiting for, the splendid Cathedral of Seville.

La Giralda

So here is this famous minaret that we talk about so much. At the site of the Cathedral of Seville, there was, in the time of the Visigoths, a small church that was destroyed when the Umayyads took control of the Iberian Peninsula.

The Door of Forgiveness

If you don't want to visit it, here you can see what the Orange Tree Patio looks like. The door through which you can admire the patio is the Puerta del Perdón.

Plaza San Francisco

You arrive at the narrow and beautiful San Francisco Square, considered to be the heart of the city in the 16th century. Major holidays were celebrated there and that is where the main civil powers were located.

Church of the Divine Saviour

Change of scenery with the beautiful Baroque church of the Divine Saviour. It is the biggest church in Seville after the cathedral of course.
