Triana
Until 1852, Triana on the “other” side of the River Guadalquivir was only connected to the city centre by a pontoon bridge. The district therefore developed its own colourful character.

Just a stone’s throw from the cathedral and the Royal Alcázar, Seville’s Santa Cruz district is often referred to as the judería – or Jewish quarter. The main attraction is exploring the narrow, winding alleyways and quaint squares planted with jasmine and orange trees.
Officially called the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See, Seville Cathedral is one of the world’s great religious monuments. Although it still retains a few structures from the Muslim period, most of the cathedral was built in the 15th and 16th centuries.
“Real” means “royal”, and Seville’s Real Alcázar likes to claim it’s the oldest royal palace still in use in Europe. It’s a fascinating and beautiful place, and you can easily spend a whole morning or afternoon exploring the palaces and gardens.
