Built on the edge of the Maria Luisa Park in the 1920s in a huge semi circle with bridges, moats and fountains this is definitely the number one spot to visit whilst in Seville.

My first visit to Seville, wow! For many years I have loved Barcelona but Seville is a step up in so many ways. Easy walking, pedestrianised, lots of restaurants and bars, superb tapas everywhere, great history, great architecture, lovely atmosphere, lots of good quality street musicians. Lots of shops, love this city
3. Catedral de Sevilla

4.5 based on 26,003 reviews
This majestic Cathedral dates back to the 15th century and claims to be the third largest building of its kind in the world.
Reviewed By WineEng - Green Valley, United States
This is THE site to visit when in Sevilla. Absolutely enormous, the largest gothic cathedral in the world consists of the main cathedral, many chapels, a small treasury and many memorials plus the converted bell tower. When busy, it’s much better to have purchased tickets in advance or be prepared to wait in long lines to hope to buy a ticket. It takes 2 1/2 - 3 hours to visit everything while stopping to enjoy the varied architecture. A Columbus is buried here so some come to see that. The organ has four banks with over 7000 pipes and can be heard at specific times during the week. Fantastic piece of history. Cheers!
4. Barrio Santa Cruz
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 8,818 reviews
The Barrio Santa Cruz used to be the Jewish quarter. The streets are narrow and form a labyrinth. It’s easy to get lost among the jasmine-scented streets… only to discover a convent or a palace or a hotel. Many of the palaces have wrought iron gates suitable for peeping into their beautiful patios. There are many small stores and some artisan shops, as well as good art galleries.

Beautiful medieval Islamic palace showcasing a unique fusion of Spanish Christian and Moorish architecture.
Reviewed By LemonBistro
A must visit if you're in Seville! (Side note: also where they filmed Dorne in Game of Thrones, which is a huge thing!) See the stunning architecture from Muslim to Christian influences and spend an hour just reflecting in one of the most gorgeous botanical gardens I've ever seen.
6. Torre Giralda

This lovely structure was originally built as a minaret for a mosque, although it has since been converted into a bell tower.
Reviewed By Razeghian - Paris, France
This tower first has been constructed as a minaret of the masque by moorish caliphate in 10 or 11 century and then its changed to a bell tower of the cathedral when Christian conquered Seville in 12 century. I recomend to climb it and visit the town from 104m high tower.

A magnificent feat of engineering and well worth a visit inside. Enjoyed Pilgrim Mass in this wonderful cathedral
8. La Basilica De San Isidoro De Leon
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,133 reviews
The museum has the wellknown as the Sixtine Chapell of the Romanesque Art because of the 11th century romanesque frescoes, and the mythical chalice related by a recent research with the Holy Grail .
Reviewed By SunshinefromUSA - Wisconsin, United States
We took at chance on an English tour of this museum and were completely impressed! Besides the Holy Grail claims, their guide was fantastic and did a great job leading us through the history of carvings, paintings and their collections relics. They have been able to save many items from surrounding religious houses that no longer exist, so overlook the hype and enjoy your tour.
