Seville offers the visitor one or two advantages when sightseeing : the old city center isdainty and virtually all the major monuments and sights can be accessed on foot. The town is also relatively flat, so exploring on foot is easier. In fact, walking thru the city itself should be considered avery important part of the sightseeing experience : seeing the common shops, apartamento sevilla, cafes and tapas bars which make up the common or garden life of the sevillano is sometimes just as engaging as visiting a monument. And there are numerous attractive buildings, streets and plazas which don’t make the official inventories of sights.

With over 2000 years of really unique history, Seville offers some of the most various monuments and historical sites in Spain, if not the planet. The Roman Empire occupied the town of Seville and nearby Italica for a couple of centuries, leaving its footprint, with ruins
and residue scattered throughout the town and cities close by.

The early 8th century marked the appearance of Moorish occupiers and Muslim Spain, an occupation which would last for over 500 years, and noticeably change the face and culture of the Seville.

Seville also prospered for with the discovery of the New World, and for a few centuries reaped the advantages of trade as an inland river port where goods were cleared for entry into the country.

In the early and late 20 th century Seville was marked by two Expositions. The failed 1929 South American Exposition was suspended with the industrial crisis of 1929. Before the suspension the exposition saw the construction of such monuments as the square de Espana, as well as the extension of the city along what’s now Avenida de la Palmera. In 1992, the more successful World’s Fair saw the development of modern Seville, with the development of the Cartuja Island, as well as many public works and improvements to the town’s infrastructure.

While Seville boasts aformidable history and many monuments, we usually recommend that you not limit your time to the standard sights. A visit should include an off-the-cuff stroll thru any of the old city center quarters to take in the little details. Seville’s private houses feature pretty patios, and there are many old fashioned streets with tiny stores and artisan workshops. The local food markets also offer a glance of everyday life, while weekly markets like antiques on Thursday’s (‘El Jueves’ on calle Feria ), or the collectables market ( piazza del Cabildo on Sundays ) are each time of interest. These are all vital parts of the town’s recent history which links to the past, and this is the reason why Seville is such a unique city to visit.
