Maria Luisa Park

Once the private gardens of the San Telmo Palace, María Luisa Park was donated to the city in 1893 by Infanta María Luisa Fernanda.

As one of Seville's largest and most iconic green spaces, it offers a peaceful escape within the city.

Puente de Isabel II

The Puente de Isabel II — popularly known as Puente de Triana — is a historic bridge in Seville that spans the Guadalquivir River. Built on the site of a 12th-century pontoon bridge from the Almohad period, it was inaugurated in 1852 as the city's first permanent metal bridge. Measuring 149 meters in length, it replaced an earlier floating structure made of boats linked by chains. Today, it connects the city center with the vibrant Triana neighborhood and stands as one of Seville's most iconic landmarks.

General Archive of The Indies

The General Archive of the Indies in Seville was established in 1785 by order of King Carlos III to centralize documentation relating to Spanish colonial administration, previously scattered across Simancas, Cádiz, and Seville.

Plaza de España

The Plaza de España, nestled within María Luisa Park, is a monumental urban icon designed for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition.

Its grand scale and blend of Renaissance Revival and Neo‑Moorish styles create a stunning fusion of architecture and greenery.

Metropol Parasol

The Metropol Parasol, popularly known as "Las Setas de Sevilla" ("Mushrooms of Seville"), is a striking wooden structure located at Plaza de la Encarnación. Measuring approximately 150 × 70 m and about 26 m high, it features six parasol-shaped canopies connected by walkways and a panoramic terrace. Beneath it are an archaeological museum (Antiquarium), a traditional market, event space, and restaurants—a bold fusion of architecture, leisure, and urban renewal.

Seville, the capital of the region of Andalusia, is a universal city located along the Lower Guadalquivir, at the furthest navigable point of the river. Romans, Visigoths, Moors, and Christians have all settled in this land over the centuries, leaving behind a legacy as rich as the city is vast.

Seville embodies the purest essence of Andalusia. Its culture, monuments, and artistic heritage make it one of the most beautiful and distinctive cities in the world—where every street corner brings visitors closer to the splendour of the past. Its gastronomy is yet another reflection of its history, with specialties such as giblets, Seville-style veal, spinach with chickpeas, and traditional desserts like tortas de aceite (crisp olive oil biscuits).
