Weekend trip to Seville!

An absolutlely wonderful city to visit for the

weekend!

Real Alcázar de Sevilla

Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987, it is regarded as

one of the most outstanding examples of mudéjar architecture in Spain!

A royal palace in the heart of Seville that was

originally built by Moorish kings – the gardens are

beautiful!

Plaza de España

The Plaza itself is about the

size of 5 football pitches!

Plaza de España is a semi-circular building with a tower at either end (tall enough to be visible around the city). In front of this impressive

building is a 500-metre canal crossed by four bridges!

The Cathedral

Seville's cathedral is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world! It’s

Central nave is 42 meters tall!

The cathedral's construction

lasted over a century, from1401 to 1506!

Barrio de Santa Cruz

This ‘barrio’ is the formerJewish quarter and it

houses some of the oldestchurches in the city.

The Barrio de Santa Cruz is alabyrinth of narrow streets and

alleyways that protect you from theAndalucían sun!
