Seville offers the visitor one or two advantages when sightseeing : the old city center is compact , and almost all the major monuments and sights can be accessed on foot. The town is also relatively flat, so exploring on foot is simpler. In fact, walking through 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 everyday life of the sevillano is sometimes just as engaging as visiting a monument. And there are numerous gorgeous buildings, streets and squares which don’t make the official catalogues of sights.

With over 2k years of truly unique history, Seville offers some of the most diverse monuments and historical sites in Spain, if not the world . The Roman Empire occupied the town of Seville and nearby Italica for several centuries, leaving its footprint, with ruins
and residue scattered throughout the town and towns close by.

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

Seville also did nicely for with the discovery of the New World, and for a couple of centuries reaped the benefits of trade as an inland river port where products were cleared for entry into the country.

In the early and late 20th century Seville was marked by two Expositions. The failed 1929 South American Exposition was postponed with the business crisis of 1929. Before the suspension the exposition saw the construction of such monuments as the plaza 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 enhancements to the town’s infrastructure.

While Seville boasts aformidable history and many monuments, we always recommend that you not limit your time to the standard sights. A visit should include an informal ramble through any of the old city center quarters to take in the little details. Seville’s personal homes feature pretty patios, and there are plenty of quaint streets with little stores and artisan workshops. The local food markets also provide a glance of daily life, while weekly markets such as antiques on Thursday’s (‘El Jueves’ on calle Feria ), or the collectables market ( piazza del Cabildo on Sundays ) are always of interest. These are all important parts of the town’s recent history which links to the past, and this is why Seville is such a special city to visit.
