City Description

Sevilla can be best described as a city of colors. Everywhere you turn there are flowers, orange trees, and multicolored tiles that complement the houses in shades of green, brown, and orange. The colorfulness of the city is not only reflected in the buildings and landscapes, but also in the people and their way of life.

Home to 600,000 residents, Sevilla is the capital city of Andalucîa in Southern Spain. Originally built by the Romans as a shelter from the heat of Andalucian summers, it is now a bustling city with its own airport and bullet train that gets you to Madrid in just over 2 hours.

Sevilla has an astonishing number of palaces, churches, towers, and historic plazas. Probably the most impressive of the sites is the Cathedral, located in the Plaza del Triunfo. Begun in the 1400s, it took centuries to complete. An absolutely enormous building, it is comparable in size to St. Peter's in Rome.

A short walk from the Cathedral is the Alcåzar, a 14th century Mudejar palace built by Pedro the Cruel. Today, the Alcåzar is the Sevillian home to King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, making it the oldest European residence still in use.
