The most emblematic monument of Seville.

It was built in 1929 for the Ibero-American Exposition and as a curiosity, in the Plaza de España in Seville there are 50 banks instead of 48, since at that time the Canary Islands only had one province.

On the other hand, Seville is not represented along with the rest of the provinces. The mural of Seville is located in another area of the square.

Some government and military headquarters are located in the Plaza de España. As well as foreign and naval departments.

Its impressive architecture has been the stage for some well-known movies, from Lawrence of Arabia, to Game of Thrones, mission impossible, etc.

If you like cinema, here I provide you with some films that have been made in the Real Alcázar of Seville

Currently there is a small artificial lake where you can rent small boats to enjoy a Venetian version of the square. It is also possible to visit the square when renting a horse-drawn carriage near the cathedral or when taking a guided city tour around the city.

What else to see in Seville

Visit the Cathedral of Seville and La Giralda

Considered the largest Gothic temple in the world, Seville Cathedral and its viewpoint known as La Giralda, is a very beautiful monument to visit.

Its altars and large stained glass windows, as well as side rooms that make up the catarral, make the traveler feel all the majesty of the place. In its construction, they said they were crazy to make such a monument. So much so that, in size as a Catholic temple, it is the second largest in the world, barely behind the Vatican.

With 33 ramps, at the top of the Giraldillo viewpoint it is possible to appreciate the city from a bird’s eye view and approach the set of gigantic bells.

It is possible to visit its decks, but, in general, the most popular visit are the guided tours, where incredible objects and stories are discovered, making the visit much more attractive. In it you will see the monument to Christopher Columbus.

Closed on Sundays. During Holy Week, Corpus Christi and other Catholic holidays the cathedral is closed.

STRONG POINTS that make Seville the most visited city in Andalusia.

The city can boast that it has a very good climate throughout the year, the rainy season is from January to March, but it rains very little. It is true that the hot months of July and especially August are, mainly for local residents, the ideal time when they seek to escape from the city towards the beaches of Huelva or Cádiz. But, over the years, tourism has increased a lot in the capital of Andalusia, being visited by tourists of the most different nationalities, such as Germans, French, Japanese and from the Americas.

The streets are always full of tourists and passers-by who enjoy a walk appreciating its architecture, squares and flowery and colorful corners.

Communication is the strong point of the city. Many urban bus lines, the transvia, but the airport and the Santa Justa Train Station are the main points of arrival for tourists to the city.
