Seville

In April 2025 we visited the historic city of Seville, or "Sevilla", Spain.
Located in the southwest of the country with a population of about 2 million people, it's the fourth largest city in Spain.
This 2,200 year old town has struck a great balance of preserving and showcasing the old, while also being a thriving modern city



Plaza de Espana

The most famous square in Seville Spain is located in the Maria Luisa park.
The 'Plaza de España' was created for the Ibero-American exhibition of 1929 to symbolise peace with the former colonies.
A highlight of this 'Spanish square' are the 52 benches with Andalusian tiles that represent all Spanish provinces.

    
 

Alcazar of Seville or Royal Palace

The name 'Alcazar' means castle in Spanish and is derived from the Arabic word al-qasr (fortress or palace).
The complex of palaces is in the Mudéjar style, which is a architectural style with many influences from Moorish and Christian culture.
It is probably the oldest palace still in use in Europe; when King Felipe V visits Seville, this UNESCO-listed palace is still his residence.
