Hello Friends. Welcome to the city of Seville. As for sure there are people much more  specialist than myself  in historic heritage im going to give you the official website of tourism of Seville what is pretty good website not only for information about monuments , museums etc..but also for events at the city. ( You can find Schedules, opening hours, phone numbers etc.. )   www.visitasevilla.es

Anyway Im going to give you a list of  my favourite places from the huge list you can find at this website  http://www.visitasevilla.es/en/que-ver 

Then if you have not too much time or you dont like to visit so much monuments the list will be useful. Please look the location in google maps. Will be really easy for you.

AND THIS IS THE LIST.


1. CATHEDRAL OF SEVILLE AND GIRALDA
One of our best monument in the City. The magnificient Cathedral of Seville. 3rd biggest in the world. The tower of the Giralda was built by the muslims and then the cristians renovated and added the highest part ( where the bells are ) after the reconquer of Spain . Right part of the Giralda is the where the muslim church was originally.  The starting of the build of the gothic cathedral is dated on XV century. Around 1401

 

2.ROYAL ALCAZAR OF SEVILLE
Another jewel of Seville. The palace was built by the muslims Kings. After the reconquer of Sevilla by the Cristians they renovated and added some spaces. I call it our small Alhambra

 3.SANTA CRUZ AREA. HOSPITAL DE LOS VENERABLES ( Its the area just next the the Cathedral and Giralda what is lovely for walking or enjoy some tapas .Its the old jew town ). Inside Santa Cruz Area you can visit the hospital de los venerables

4.OLD TOBACCO FACTORY ( University of Seville )

It was the first big tobacco factory built in Europe. The scenario of  the story of the famous Opera Carmen was there. Carmen was an employee of the factory

5.THE INDIAS ARCHIVE. GOLD TOWER AND SILVER TOWER.


( All the files , contracts maps etc. about the discoverment of America are inside this building. The gold and Silver tower are very nearby than the archive. It was the storage for the gold and silver we brought from America).
