I want to visit the best places in seville!

Here we recommend you the two favorite places of travelers in the city of seville. The alcazar of seville and the cathedral of seville.

The tour was great! Easy meeting point, great tour guide, and really nice coverage of some of the main points of interest in Sevilla. I definitely walked away with a better sense of the city and its history. Francisco was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and great at explaining things in an approachable way. I loved his use of pictures/maps. It added a lot to the tour and helped make it even easier to visualize certain historical, geographical, and architectural points.

Highly recommended to visit

Without a doubt the Plaza de España in Seville is the favorite place for tourists to visit in the city. The Plaza de España is that essential place in your visit to the Andalusian capital. Nº 1 in the most visited places of the city. Architecture, water for sailing, fountains, parks, horse carriages, provincial banks and endless details encompass this historic square.

Designed by the architect Aníbal Gonzalez director of the Ibero-American exhibition of 1929, unmistakable stamp of this genius. 170 meters in diameter in the shape of a half circle that symbolizes the embrace of Spain to its ancient American territories.

On the walls of the square we can find 48 banks representing forty-six Spanish provinces (all except Seville) and the two archipelagos (Canary and Balearic Islands), with its shield, a map and a Pisan tile cloth with historical highlights of the province or archipelago represented, placed in alphabetical order. These benches are located in four sections, and at the beginning and end of each of them, there is a Pisan tile cloth relative to the province of Seville.

History Square spain of seville

The construction of the Plaza de España began in 1914. It was built between 1914 and 1929 as the main building, and the largest, of the  Ibero-American Exposition  of 1929.  Although its initial estimated budget was 600,000 pesetas, it ended up exceeding 17 million . The architect Aníbal González fought to obtain more money for the completion of the project. However, he ended up resigning from his position in 1926 due to budget cuts. He was replaced by Vicente Traver y Tomás, who added the fountain in the center of the square (which was also highly criticized). Traver and Thomas carried the project through to completion in 1929, more than a decade after it began.

 Alfonso XIII said… Aníbal González’s masterpiece amazed the monarch greatly. When he looked at her for the first time he said

«Gentlemen, I knew this was beautiful… But not so much«

Special place to be photographed with infinity of backgrounds. Tourists, children, horse carriages, balloons, walking boats and the Maria Luisa Park make this place unique and essential.  Its total area is 50,000 square meters (which would be equivalent to more than 6 football fields), of which 19,000 are built and 31,000 are free space. Surrounded by a channel that runs 515 m and is crossed by four bridges. The buildings that surround the square are structured in a central building, wings with intermediate buildings and towers at the ends.
