Seville Attractions
Introduction to Seville
Sometimes a city becomes famous simply for its beauty and romantic aura. Seville (Sevilla in Spanish), the capital of Andalusia, is such a place. Despite its sultry summer heat and problems such as high unemployment and street crime, it remains one of Spain’s most charming cities.
Cathedral
As a monument to Christian glory, Seville’s cathedral has few equals, in fact it is still undecided whether it is the largest church in the world when measured against St Peter’s in Rome and St Paul’s in London.
Maria Luisa Park, Seville
Regarded as one of the loveliest parks in Europe, this half-mile area in southern Seville, near the port, is planted with palms, orange trees, elms and Mediterranean pines. Bright and beautiful flower beds vie for the eye with hidden bowers, ponds and pavilions in this little paradise, which was designed in the 1920s and thus reflects a mix of Art Deco and Mudejar styling.
