Seville Getaway
Cathedral, Alcázar and Santa Cruz in 1h
- Seville CathedralThis is Seville Cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, begun in 1401 on the site of the former Almohad great mosque. "Let us build a church so great that those who see it will think us mad," its founders are said to have declared.
- Royal AlcázarThe Royal Alcázar is the oldest royal palace still in use in Europe: the sovereigns of Spain still stay here. Built on former Muslim fortifications, it was transformed in the 14th century by Peter the Cruel in the Mudéjar style, blending the skill of Muslim craftsmen with Christian patrons.
- La GiraldaThe Giralda, almost one hundred metres tall, is the cathedral's bell tower and the emblem of Seville. Originally it was the minaret of the great mosque, built in the 12th century by the Almohads, sister to the towers of Marrakech and Rabat.

- Torre del OroThe Torre del Oro, the Tower of Gold, has stood on the bank of the Guadalquivir since the early 13th century. Raised by the Almohads, this twelve-sided watchtower once sealed the port with a chain stretched to the far bank to control shipping.
- Plaza de EspañaThe Plaza de España is Seville's most spectacular square, built in 1928 for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. In a vast five-hundred-metre semicircle, it blends brick, marble, ceramics and wrought iron in a grand neo-Moorish and Renaissance style.
- La GiraldaThe Giralda, almost one hundred metres tall, is the cathedral's bell tower and the emblem of Seville. Originally it was the minaret of the great mosque, built in the 12th century by the Almohads, sister to the towers of Marrakech and Rabat.

- Maestranza BullringThe Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza is one of the oldest and most beautiful bullrings in Spain. Begun in 1761, its white-and-ochre silhouette, golden sand ring and Baroque arcades make it a temple of bullfighting where, it is said, the most demanding corrida in the country takes place.

- Setas de Sevilla (Metropol Parasol)The Setas de Sevilla, nicknamed "the mushrooms", form the largest wooden structure in the world. Unveiled in 2011 by architect Jürgen Mayer, this giant undulating parasol of laminated-pine latticework rises over the Plaza de la Encarnación, long a mere car park.
