Seville, the vibrant capital of Andalusia, is famed for its Moorishinfluenced architecture, orangelined streets, and deep flamenco traditions. Once a major Roman and later Islamic city, it flourished after the Christian reconquest and became a gateway to the New World. Today, it remains a warm, walkable, and culturally rich destination with a lively food scene and striking monuments. Historic Core & Landmarks
