Opened in 1988 as Seville's main indoor sports venue, San Pablo carries an outsized event history for a city-run arena: the 1997 European Aquatics Championships filled it with swim fans, and in 2014 it hosted group-stage games of the FIBA Basketball World Cup. Day to day it is home court for CB Sevilla, the city's top basketball club.
What to look for
- The main bowl seating — capacity is 10,200, modest by NBA standards but significant for a municipal facility
- CB Sevilla branding throughout the arena, reflecting its role as the home club
- Any permanent signage or imagery referencing the 1997 European Aquatics Championships, the venue's highest-profile international event
Check CB Sevilla's home schedule before visiting — a live basketball game is the main reason to come inside.
