SEVILLE – THE UNMISSABLE

SEVILLE – THE UNMISSABLE

It has an important historical and architectural heritage: Arab, Jewish and Christian cultures and their intertwining have created a brilliant historic city.

Seville’s old town, on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, is home to the most important sights: the Cathedral, the Giralda Tower and the Alcázar.
To the east of the old town is the Santa Cruz district (Barrio Santa Cruz), with its narrow cobbled streets, richly decorated whitewashed houses and hidden terraces. It is a popular tourist area. The area is full of tapas bars and outdoor cafés.

In the north of the city is the Metropol Parasol, an architectural marvel of modern Seville. It is the largest wooden structure in the world, consisting of six 20-metre-high structures, topped with a restaurant, promenade and viewing platform.
Near the Santa Cruz district is the emblematic Plaza de España, built for the World Expo. Today it is an important building for government offices.
