The Giralda is the most emblematic monument of Seville. This Minaret was constructed by the Moores between 1184 and 1197 and reaches a height of 76 metres. After the reconquest the christians added a bell tower to the minaret in 1568. |
It was built especially for the Latin American exposition in 1929 with polychromatic ceramic tiles. The semicircular plaza is 200 metres wide and is flanked by two spectacular towers and a bordering lake. |
|
The Cathedral in Seville is the worlds biggest gothic temple and the third largest Christian cathedral after Saint Peter in the Vatican city and St. Pauls in London. |
The Gold Tower, built between 1221 and 1222, was one of the last contributions from the Almohade period in Seville. It was part of the last wall of defence that ran across the Alcazar to the river. |
This is definitly one of the most impressive monuments of Seville and you should not miss it. Abd Al Ramn III ordered the construction of the Alcazar in 913. It was a fortified palace which later became the residence of various monarchs. |
This particular style of architecture was inspired by the Poncio Pilate in Jerusalem. The palace was first constructed by the first marquis of Tarifa in 1518, after he returned from an inspirational two-year journey through Europe and the Holy Land.

Constructed for commercial trade in the 16th century it later became the headquarters for the General Archives of the Indies which housed all references to Spain and her colonies between the 15th and 19th centuries. |
Built in the 16th century and subsequently remodelled in the 19th century, the Lebrija Palace is not just a monument to a particular age or artistic style; its interior is branded with the life of the lady who once owned it: the Countess of Lebrija. |
|
Taking more than a century to build, La Real Maestranza of Seville, is one of the most significant bullrings in the history of bullfighting. It is also one of the oldest and most beautiful. |
The Macarena Arch and basilique The arch of Macarena is set in a framework of pillars and finished off with urns. The present arch was constructed in the 19th century, but it already existed in the 2nd century. |
