The route

Stop by stop

  1. 1 Triana BridgeSpain's oldest iron bridge still marks, between its arches, the border between two cities with souls of their own.
  2. 2 Maestranza BullringA bullring that took over a century to finish, and a gate every bullfighter dreams of being carried through.
  3. 3 The Giralda and the CathedralAn Almohad minaret crowned with a Renaissance weathervane: the tower that sums up Seville.
  4. 4 Royal AlcázarA thousand years of palaces behind a battlemented wall, and still the royal family's residence whenever it visits Seville.
  5. 5 Plaza de Santa CruzA square born from the demolition of a church where Murillo was buried, and whose remains no one has ever found.
  6. 6 Plaza de EspañaA bench for every province, four bridges, a boating canal and a «Star Wars» set: the square everyone wants to photograph.

The best of Seville: from Triana to the Plaza de España

Three World Heritage sites

The cathedral, the Alcázar and the Archive of the Indies were listed together by UNESCO in 1987, and the route passes all three.

The river and the city

From Triana, the old quarter of sailors and potters, to the Arenal bank, once home to the port and the bullring.

Postcards with a story

Behind every famous view lies a surprising fact: ramps you could ride a horse up, a wandering iron cross, a bench for every province.
