Sevilla

Seville is he capital of Andalusia, with more than 850,000 people. Some of its architecture is based on the Mudejar style, a mixture of both Moorish and Christian, with buildings constructed after the reconquest, including the Alcazar, reflecting the influence of Arabic design. Founded by the Phoenicians close to 1,000 years BC, it played an important role in the discovery of the Americas, since any expedition sailing to the New World, had to be contracted there.

With the Gold Tower overlooking the Guadalquivir River, The Cathedral and Giralda Tower, The Maria Luisa Park, the old Tobacco Factory and the Alcazar Palace, where many Kings have lived, Seville is a must for the history lover.
