Seville offers the visitor several advantages when sightseeing : the old city center isn’t large and virtually 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 an important part of the sightseeing experience : seeing the common shops, apartamento sevilla, cafeterias and tapas bars which make up the everyday life of the sevillano is usually just as engaging as visiting a monument. And there are countless beautiful buildings, streets and plazas which don’t make the official inventories of sights.

With over two thousand years of actually unique history, Seville offers some of the most diverse monuments and historic 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 remnants scattered across the town and towns close by.

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

Seville also flourished for with the discovery of the New World, and for a few centuries reaped the advantages of trade as an inland brook 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 postponed with the economic 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 whatis 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 a magnificent history and numerous monuments, we usually recommend that you not limit your time to the standard sights. A visit should include a casual ramble through any of the old city center quarters to take in the little details. Seville’s non-public homes feature beautiful terraces, and there are many quaint streets with little stores and workman workshops. The local food markets also provide a glimpse of daily existance, while weekly markets like antiques on Thursday’s (’El Jueves’ on calle Feria ), or the collectables market ( plaza del Cabildo on Sundays ) are each time of interest. These are all vital parts of the town’s current history which links to the past, and this is why Seville is such a special city to visit.
