About

Seville, originally founded as the Roman city of Hispalis, is a historically rich city located in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula. It has been a significant cultural and trade center through various periods, including Roman, Islamic, and Castilian rule. The city contains a UNESCO World Heritage Site and features a blend of architectural styles reflecting its diverse cultural influences. This includes Roman defensive walls and aqueducts, Islamic mosques adapted into churches, and the grand Gothic cathedral. The 16th century marked Seville's peak as a trade hub of the Spanish Empire, while the 17th century was a cultural high point during the Baroque period. Seville's historical architecture, including palaces, plazas, and theaters, provides a testament to its complex history.
