Seville is located in the Southwest

of Spain. A provincial capital,

seat of the government and parliament of the

Communidad Autonoma de Sevilla (Regional

Government). It has approximately 700,000

inhabitants, nearly half the population of the

whole province.

The city of Seville is located on the plain of the

Guadalquivir river which crosses the city from

North to South. The river can be navigated from

Seville all the way to its outlet near Sanlúcar de

Barrrameda, on the Atlantic coast. In the past the

port of Seville played an important role in

commerce between Spain and the Americas and

remains today one of the most active river ports of

the Iberian peninsula.

The Tartessians were the original founders of

Hispalis. Next to this settlement, in 207 B.C., the

Romans built Itálica. It was the center of their

Western Mediterranean dominions for seven

2

S E V I L L EIntroduction

centuries until the Roman empire was overrun by

peoples from the North at the beginning of the

10th century.

The long Moorish occupation of the Iberian

peninsula, from 711 A.D. to 1248 A.D., left

indelible traces in Seville as in all of Al-Andalus.

La Giralda, the tower of an important mosque, is

the most well-known of the remaining Islamic

monuments.

In 1492 Seville played an important role in the

discovery and conquest of America.

The 17th century was a period of artistic

splendor in Seville. Painters such as Murillo and

Valdés Leal, and sculptors like Martínez Montañés

were born in Seville and left behind important

works. The city also assumed an important role in

world literature and was the birthplace of the

myth of Don Juan.

On two occasions in the 20th century, Seville

has been in the spotlight of the world’s attention.

In 1929, it hosted the Latin American Exhibition,

which left important urban improvements in the

city. More recently, Expo 92 reinforced the image

of Seville as a modern and dynamic city.

InJuly and August the temperatures are very high for which werecommend very light clothing and a hat to ward off the sun.- Banking hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The airports andtrain stations also have bureau de change facilities. To obtaincash with credit cards, automatic cash-points are in operation 24hours a day. The majority of shops, hotels, and restaurants acceptall types of credit cards.

Accommo-dation

The historic center of Seville is located on the left-handside of the river in a spot previously protected by theAlmohade wall of which some ruins remain today. Itcontains some of the most famous neighborhoods of thecity such as Santa Cruz, San Bartolomé, San Vicente,San Lorenzo and El Arenal. On the right-hand side ofthe river stands the Arrabal suburb. These are the mostinteresting areas for the traveler to visit.

The rest of the city is built around a series of expansionprojects, the most important being that carried out forthe Latin American Exhibition of 1929, built along thesouthern stretch of the Guadalquivir River. In 1992,near the Cartuja Monastery, a new area was developedto the west of the city where Expo 92 was held.

Santa Rosalía (48). Built inthe 18th century by DiegoAntonio Díaz, its mainaltarpiece was the work ofCayetano de Acosta. TheRomantic Square of SanLorenzo contains the ParishChurch of San Lorenzo (49),with a Gothic-Mudejar tower,although the renovations ofthe 18th and 19th centuriesdrastically changed thestructure. Inside, the churchcontains a sacramentalchapel and a mainaltarpiece by MartínezMontañés. On the right-handside is the Basilica of Jesúsdel Gran Poder (50), modernbuilding which contains theImage of Christ (17thcentury) one of the greatesttreasures of imagery forprocessions in Seville, byJuan de Mesa. The squaremarks the beginning of SantaClara street, location ofseveral convents and statelyhomes such as the Palace ofSanta Coloma (51). Nearbyis the Monastery of SantaClara (52) whose 17thcentury doorway providesaccess to the Gothic-Mudejarchurch. The Inmaculada andthe San Juan Evangelistafigures are works byMontañés. Through a Gothicdoorway the visitor reaches

the remains of the Palace ofthe Infante (prince) DonFabrique, a tower built in1252 with a square baseand three sections. The firsttwo are covered with ogivalvaults and the third, with anoctogonal vault. At the endof the street stands theConvent of San Clemente(53), used primarily as anexhibition hall. It is a largebuilding erected by AlfonsoX el Sabio. Its church,covered with 16th-centuryMudejar coffer-work, isdecorated with frescoes byValdés Leal.

We recommend finishing offa walk in this area with avisit to the Alameda deHércules (54). Built in the16th century, the structuretakes its name from thecolumns of a Roman templewhich were brought fromMármoles street to supportsculptures of Hercules andJulius Cesar. From this point,the visitor can return to theshopping district in just a fewmoments along Trajan andAmor de Dios streets.

Triana Bridge

VII. Triana

Some believe that the name ofthis neighborhood comes from"tri" (three) and "ana" (rivers)since three rivers meet at thislocation. Others contend thatthe name comes from"Trajan", because it wasfounded by Trajan, the Romanemperor. It is the birthplace ofbullfighters, folklore singersand historic personalities suchas Rodrigo de Triana,companion of Columbus in thediscovery of America. Trianahas always been a sea-going

neighborhood and lived fromthis occupation up through the20th century. Travelers of theRomantic period werecaptivated by the area's patiosand its inhabitants, includingthe large number of gypsieswho lived there. In 1852 theTriana bridge was built,becoming the emblem andpride of the neighborhood.

On the other side of the SanTelmo bridge, the travelerarrives at Betis street, splendiddecorative backdrop of the oldArrabal suburb with facadespainted in lively colors. Itpreserves the walls and highdefensive parapets of the 19thcentury and a large number ofbars and taverns which makeBetis a lively area. AlongDuarte street, which standsnext to the Casa de lasColumnas (The House of theColumns) (61), the travelerarrives at the Parish Church ofSanta Ana (62), Gothic templewhich was the Cathedral of theArrabal up until the 19thcentury. Begun by Alfonso X elSabio (Alfonso X the Wise), itwas finished in the 14thcentury. The church's interior isa mixture of splendor andsobriety unusual in Seville.Its main altarpiece and theRenaissance and Baroque tile

and wrought-iron work deservespecial mention. In addition, itpossesses a beautiful collectionof processional 18th centurysilver work, used during theneighborhood's most popularfestival, the "Corpus Chico"(Small Corpus). Continuingalong Pureza street, whichpreserves the charm of oldTriana, the traveler arrives atthe Chapel of the Marineros(63) (Sailors), site of the virginEsperanza de Triana, one ofthe most cherished images ofthe people of Seville.

Pureza street leads intoAltozano, an area which wasdeveloped in the 19th centuryafter the demolition of SanJorge castle. The saint'sremains are preserved nearbyin the Small Chapel of Carmen(64). Altozano marks thestarting point of San Jacintostreet, full of shops andpeople, the neighborhood'smain thoroughfare. Alfareríastreet preserves a largenumber of stores and potter'sworkshops which produce thetraditional style of Trianaceramics. From here, alongSan Jorge, the traveler arrivesat the beginning of Castillastreet and the infamous alleyof the Inquisition, today linedwith houses and patios

26

brimming with flowers. TheParish Church of O (65), 17thcentury building including atower decorated with Trianatile work, presides over all theactivity. Taking Castilla street,the traveler arrives at theChapel of Cristo de laExpiración (66), church whichcontains the Cristo delCachorro, masterpiece ofFrancisco Ruiz Gijón. Thepainting was inspired by theagony of a dying gypsynamed "Cachorro", lending tothe work its popular name.Behind the chapel and next tothe World Trade Center is theentryway to the buildings ofthe Cartuja MonumentalComplex and AndalusianCenter of ContemporaryArt (67).

Werecommend visiting theTobacco Factory (70), whichtoday houses the University ofSeville, a building designed bySebastian Van der Borcht inthe 18th century. Its enormousfoundation made it the largestpublic building in Spain afterEl Escorial.

The building'schapel, today no longer inuse, contains the Crucificadode la Buena Muerte, paintingby Juan de Mesa.

Between the Tobacco Factoryand the park, the city built (forthe Latin American exhibitionof 1929) the Casino de laExposición (71) and the Lopede Vega Theatre (72). Next tothese, the Park of MaríaLuisa (73), was donated in1893 by the princess, Luisa

Fenanda de Orleans, andwas renovated in 1913 andagain in 1929. The parkcontains the Plaza deEspaña (74), historic in style,built by Anibal González outof brick and ceramics.
