Seville On Your Own

Explore a Grand, Historic City at Your Own Pace Spend the day exploring Seville, the capital of Andalusia, at your leisure. According to legend, the city was founded by Hercules; it was called Hispalis under the Romans and Isbiliya by the Moors. Before its Guadalquivir River silted, funneling trade downstream toward Cádiz, Seville was a wealthy and bustling port. Lying along the riverbanks, modern-day Seville is an intoxicating blend of Moorish and Christian architecture and rich cultural traditions. Highlights include the Giralda, built as a minaret and today a cathedral bell tower, the stunning Gothic Seville Cathedral—Europe’s third largest—and the Alcázar, built in 913 as a Moorish fortress. If you wish, explore the cathedral’s vibrant and historic neighborhood of shops and cafés.
