About this activity

With this visit, you will take a tour of the area with the greatest monumental concentration in Seville, where the Alcázar, the Archive of the Indies and the Cathedral are located, which are buildings that have been declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. At the height of the Cathedral we can see the Giralda, 104 meters high and with ramps so that Muslims could climb on horseback when they were summoned to prayer.

We will continue through the town hall, which is located in the Plaza Nueva, where the most expensive shops in the city are located. Then we will have the opportunity to see the Plaza del Salvador, an ideal place to have a beer. We will continue on our way to the river from which you can see the bridges and even the canoeists.

We will continue through the San Telmo Palace and the Tobacco Factory, which is the headquarters of the University of Seville, where future applicants to study a degree must register. Finishing in the Plaza de España.

Archivo General de Indias

5 min Admission not included

It is a building that has all the documents that were used for the conquest of the New World, such as cartographic maps, navigation charts ... All this information is organized in 9 kilometers of shelves, so not even in 100 of our lives could we read everything what's inside this building.
Catedral De Sevilla

5 min Admission not included

It is a monument built on an old mosque. It contains a tower, the Giralda, which has a weather vane at the top with the figure of a pregnant woman that represents the state of good hope. We will also contemplate the Puerta del Perdón, which like the Giralda is a door that has been given a Christian aspect. Proof of this are the figures that we can see flanking the entrance, Saint Peter with the keys and Saint Paul with the sword.
