Overview
The once powerful Moors ruled Seville from the Alcazar royal palace and exquisite gardens, which can still be visited today in the heart of the city, combining both Christian and Muslim designs. The historic Golden Tower was once the city’s major fortification and lookout.
Spain’s fourth largest city is still a major center of arts and culture. Host of the 1992 World’s Fair, much of the infrastructure created for that citywide event still exists. The Santa Cruz area houses Europe’s third largest church, built in 1401, decorated inside with gold leaf and colorful depictions of biblical stories. Many of the shady, narrow streets and whitewashed homes of Seville’s historic Jewish quarter can still be viewed. The 17th century protector of matadors, the Virgin of Macarena, can be seen at the Basílica de la Macarena in this flamboyant land of bullfights and flamenco.
