Landmarks7
- 1Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán StadiumTwo European finals and a World Cup semi-final on one pitch — more big-match history than almost any stadium in Spain.
- 2GiraldaA 12th-century Almohad minaret wearing a Renaissance belfry — two faiths, one tower, centuries apart.
- 3Plaza de EspañaA vast semicircle of hand-painted province tiles where every Spaniard hunts for their hometown alcove.
- 4Puente del AlamilloOne backward-leaning tower holds the entire 200-metre span — no back-stay cables, just the tower's own mass doing the work.
- 5Metropol Parasol (Las Setas)Six undulating wooden mushrooms rise 26 metres over a medieval square — the world's largest wooden structure, built from Finnish pine.
- 6Palacio Municipal de Deportes San PabloA 10,200-seat city arena that has hosted the 1997 European Aquatics Championships and group-stage games of the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
- 7Torre SevillaAt 180.5 metres, it is the tallest building in Andalusia — rising from the same Isla de La Cartuja ground that hosted the 1992 World Expo.
Historic Sites7
- 8Seville CathedralThe church that dethroned Hagia Sophia — and holds Columbus's bones.
- 9Royal Alcázar of SevilleA working royal palace — the Spanish royal family still occupies the upper floors when they visit Seville.
- 10ItalicaRome's first city in Spain — and the birthplace of two emperors — is sitting in a field outside Seville.
- 11Torre del OroOne anchor of a river chain that once sealed the Guadalquivir against an entire warfleet.
- 12Plaza de toros de la MaestranzaBuilt from 1749 and seating 12,000, this bullring is regarded as one of the sport's most demanding stages — the crowd here is considered among the most unforgiving in all of bullfighting.
- 13Palacio de San TelmoA school that trained orphaned children to be sailors — built on Inquisition land — is now Andalusia's seat of regional power, and its 1754 entrance makes sure you notice.
- 14Casa de PilatosA duke's home where 150 hand-fired azulejo tile designs paper the walls and every room is named after Pontius Pilate — for reasons that have nothing to do with Pilate.
Museums & Galleries1
- 15Museum of Fine Arts of SevilleA 1594 convent seized by the state and refilled with the greatest paintings the Sevillian Baroque ever produced.
Parks & Gardens1
- 16Parque de María LuisaHalf a mile of tiled fountains through former royal palace gardens — donated to Seville in 1893, still the city's main green lung.
