About Seville

Seville is the fourth largest city in Spain and the capital of Andalusia, set along the Guadalquivir River in the south of the country. The city is famous for its Moorish architecture, including the Alcázar palace, whose gardens and courtyards reflect centuries of Islamic and Christian influence. Seville Cathedral, one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in the world, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the burial place of Christopher Columbus. Seville is also the heart of flamenco, with passionate dancing, guitar music, and song filling its historic neighborhoods such as Triana. As an important port on the Guadalquivir, the city played a key role in Spanish colonial trade and exploration, especially with the Americas. Today it is a vibrant cultural center, admired for its orange-lined streets, lively tapas bars, and spring festivals.
