The population of the city of Seville proper was 704,154 as of 2005 (INE estimate). The population of the urban area was 1,043,000 as of 2000 estimates.

Landmarks

• The Cathedral of Seville was once judged the third largest church in the world after Saint Peter's in and Saint Paul's in ; it is now arguably the largest church in the world when compared using the measurement of volume. Seville's fifteenth century cathedral occupies the site of the former great mosque built in the late twelfth century. The central nave rises to an awesome 37 metres over a total area of 11,520 square metres. The Cathedral is the final resting place of the remains of Christopher Columbus.
  • La Giralda is a large and beautiful minaret tower, originally intended for the chief mosque, but now the magnificent bell tower of the Cathedral and symbol of Seville. Climb the 34 ramps for a great view of the city.
• The Real Alcázar is a beautiful palace in the Mudéjar (Moorish) style, began in the XIV Century by Pedro I the Cruel. Free visit if you are a student.
• The Jewish Quarter (Barrio Santa Cruz) is located around the Cathedral. It is filled with small winding streets and is generally regarded as the most charming part of the city, but it is also fairly touristy.
• the Hospital de los Venerables, - a 17th century retirement home and hospital for aged and sickly retired priests, recently restored by the Fundación Focus-Abengoa to preserve an example of Andalusian architecture at its very best. Includes a resplendent Baroque chapel - not to be missed. Admission includes an informative audioguide.
• Torre de Oro is a thirteenth century tower, the top of which is rumored to have once been covered in gold. It now houses the local maritime museum, admission €1 for students.
• Parque María Luisa was built for the 1929 Iber-Americano World's Fair and now is landscaped with attractive monuments and museums.
• Plaza de España is the site of the Spanish pavilion from the 1929 exhibition. It is somewhat in need of repair. Visit it early in the morning on a weekday to see a long line of immigrants outside one of the government offices it now houses; visit it right before it closes (officially at 10pm but likely half and hour later) to see it completely empty and rather eery.
• Universidad de Sevilla is an old, beautiful university set near the Parque Maria Luisa.
• The Museum of Fine Arts at Plaza del Museo is worth seeing although it can't compare with the museums in Madrid (see Museo de Bellas Artes, below).
• Casa de Pilatos is a Sixteenth Century palace and generally thought to be one of the best in the city. Admission €8; free after 1pm Tuesdays.

Museums and Galleries

• the , - considered by some as the second most important fine arts museum in Spain after the Prado in Madrid. The museum building is a former mercy convent renewed in the 17th century and the fifteen exhibition rooms show a comprehensive picture of Sevillian art from the Gothic period to the early trends of the 20th century. The square just outside hosts an open-air art market on Sundays until around 1:30 pm. Plenty of original paintings on local topics, although some not so interesting bits as well!

• Museo de Carruajes, Plaza de Cuba, tel +34 95 427 2604; open 10am-2pm Monday to Fridays, free for EU citizens, € 3.60 for other nationals. A small museum with carriages of various kinds.

Agua de Al-Andalus. Explore! ( 4/abril/ 2011- 300)
Made by jamomc22
El patio, incluso el más humilde, podía permitirse el lujo de tener un pequeño surtidor para hacer más fresca y agradable la estancia familiar, complementándose su sonido, especialmente al anochecer, con el denso perfume de los jazmineros que trepaban por las paredes. Si la casa era pudiente, el patio y las salas de estar se adornaban con un estanque o alberca, llevando el refinamiento hasta lo indecible, como se ve más adelante. En la Sevilla almohade el agua potable provenía de un gran depósito abastecido por un acueducto desde Alcalá de Guadaira. Quizá una de las cronicas más coloristas es la del cronista al-Saqundi, quien al hablar de las cuidadas viviendas de los andalusíes sevillanos en el siglo XII, llega a decir que en la mayoría de las casas sevillanas no falta agua corriente, ni árboles frondosos, como el naranjo, el limero, el limonero, el cidro y otros… The patio, even the most humble, could afford to have a small fountain to make it stay fresh and nice family, complementing its sound, especially in the evening, with the heavy perfume of jasmine climbing over the walls. If the house was well off the patio and living rooms adorned with a pond or pool, leading to the utmost refinement, as shown below. Almohad Seville in drinking water came from a large reservoir fed by an aqueduct from Alcalá de Guadaira. Perhaps the most colorful chronicles the chronicler al-Saqundi, who kept talking about the homes of the Andalusian Seville in the twelfth century, goes on to say that in most homes lack running water sevillanas no, no mature trees Such as orange, lime, lemon, citron and others ...

TRIANA Triana is a neighborhood and administrative district in the city of Seville (Spain) that lies on the west bank of the Guadalquivir River. Like other neigborhoods that were historically split from the main city, it was known as an arrabal. Triana is placed in an almost-island between two branches of the Guadalquivir, narrowly linked to the mainland in the north. Other two districts are also placed in this city area, Los Remedios to the south and La Cartuja to the north. Residents of Triana have been traditionally named trianeros. They have a strong feeling of identity and sentimentally consider the neighborhood to be different from the rest of Seville.[1] Triana has many hallmarks such as a traditional pottery industry, a strong flamenco culture, and its own festivals. Indeed, Triana plays an important role in the Seville culture and tradition.

Seville 2002- revisited
Made by !architect4!
Updated this older image with a more perfectly symmetric reflection. The Alcazar: Los Baños de Doña María de Padilla. Just added this: The Baths of Lady María de Padilla are rainwater tanks beneath the Patio del Crucero. The tanks are named after María de Padilla, the mistress of Pedro the Cruel. Supposedly, Pedro fell for María and had her husband killed. María resisted his advances and poured boiling oil over her face to disfigure herself to stop Pedro's pursuit. She became a nun and moved to a convent afterwards. She is regarded as a symbol of purity in the culture of Seville. Appropriate music: Jan Garbarek - Molde canticle (1991)

Plaza de America. Sevilla. Tercera version.

Revision utilizando Mystical lighting de un HDR a partir de un solo RAW Sevilla es una torre llena de arqueros finos. Sevilla para herir. Córdoba para morir. Una ciudad que acecha largos ritmos, y los enrosca como laberintos. Como tallos de parra encendidos. ¡Sevilla para herir! Bajo el arco del cielo, sobre su llano limpio, dispara la constante saeta de su río. ¡Córdoba para morir! Y loca de horizonte, mezcla en su vino lo amargo de Don Juan y lo perfecto de Dioniso. Sevilla para herir. ¡Siempre Sevilla para herir! Poemas de Federico García Lorca Poemas del Alma

Plaza de España
Made by Santi RF
The Plaza de España is one of Seville's most easily recognised buildings and the epitome of the Moorish Revival in Spanish architecture. In 1929 Seville hosted the Spanish-American Exhibition and numerous buildings were constructed for the exhibition in Maria Luisa Park, among them the Plaza designed by Aníbal González. On the Park's edge was built the current Plaza de España to showcase Spain's industry and technology exhibits. Today the plaza mainly consists of Government buildings but the beauty remains.
