The interior is really beautiful.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The archive was founded in 1785 by King Charles III of Spain, who intended to collect in one place all available information about the Spanish colonies. Unfortunately, the famous archives are hidden, so all the cardboard files in the libraries are empty!<\/p>\n\n<p>The visit is only 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Barrio_Santa_Cruz\"><\/span>Barrio Santa Cruz<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>The historic quarter is one of the most touristic in Seville.

Don&#8217;t let the not-so-attractive facade put you off, Casa de Pilatos is well worth a visit!

You can sample local specialities at the market. In Triana, you will also find the ceramic workshops that are typical of the neighbourhood.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Calle Betis has a beautiful view of Torre del Oro and the centre of Seville.  <strong>There are also plenty of bars and restaurants. But count on the fact that it&#8217;s 2-3 times more expensive here than elsewhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"gyg-iframe-container\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em\"><iframe style=\"border:0;height:100%;width:100%\" title=\"GetYourGuide activities widget\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/default\/activities.frame?widget=wp_activities&amp;currency=CSK&amp;locale_code=en-GB&amp;number_of_items=3&amp;partner_id=MKZ64IS&amp;q=seville%20flamenco\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Metropol_Parasol\"><\/span>Metropol Parasol<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>The Metropol Parasol, also known as Las Setas (&#8220;the mushrooms&#8221;), is a special monument of Seville. It was only built in 2011 and was extremely criticized at the time. As the name suggests, the buildings resemble mushrooms. At the top of one of them, you have supposedly the best view of the whole city and you can still have a coffee in the rooftop cafe. So it&#8217;s a bit like the \u017di\u017ekov Tower in Prague. \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Metropol-Parasol-1.jpg\" alt=\"Metropol Parasol\" class=\"wp-image-58904\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_museums_in_Seville\"><\/span>Tips for museums in Seville  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  Museo de Bellas Artes with a collection of paintings by great Andalusian and Spanish painters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  Museo del Baile Flamenco, where you can enjoy performances by flamenco dancers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  Museo de Artes y Costumbres populares with an exhibition of traditional Andalusian clothing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Museo Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrija with mosaics, paintings and tapestries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Centro Andaluz de arte contempor\u00e1neo with a collection of paintings and ceramics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Museo arqueol\u00f3gico de Sevilla: visit it for the beautiful Roman exhibits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Museo de la inquisici\u00f3n, it&#8217;s dedicated to the Inquisition.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Museo de la cer\u00e1mica, which is dedicated to ceramics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Centre for Contemporary Art in Seville<\/strong>, built in a former convent  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Churches_in_Seville\"><\/span>Churches in Seville<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>In addition to the cathedral, be sure to check out these churches:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Iglesia de Santa Ana in Triana<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Iglesia Colegial del Divino Salvador<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parroquia de San Lorenzo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basilica de la Macarena<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real parroquia de Santa Mar\u00eda de Magdalena<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parroquia de Santa Catalina<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>San Salvador Seville<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>El Divino Salvador<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_do_in_Seville_with_children\"><\/span>Things to do in Seville with children<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re heading to Seville with young children, the attractions below are sure to interest you:<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aquarium_of_Seville\"><\/span>Aquarium of Seville<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>The very recently opened Seville Aquarium (Acuario de Sevilla) in 2014 is a great place to visit with children.

We had to extend our stay there, there is no stranger building than the local Mosque-Cathedral.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Granada<\/strong> (about 3 hours by train) &#8211; Granada is a concept in Andalusia and you won&#8217;t want to miss it. If you should only visit one monument, head to the famous Alhambra.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ronda<\/strong> (about 2 hours by bus or train) &#8211; Ronda is famous for its bridge, which you must have seen in many pictures from Andalusia. Overall, it&#8217;s a really picturesque town.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jerez de la Frontera<\/strong> (about 1 hour by train) &#8211; If you like sherry and Andalusian culture, Jerez de la Frontera is the perfect destination for you. You can visit one of the many wineries and taste some of Spain&#8217;s best sherry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Costa de la Luz<\/strong> (about 1.5 hours by train) &#8211; If you&#8217;re looking for sun and beaches, the Costa de la Luz offers beautiful white sands and turquoise sea. Beaches around towns such as. Cadiz or Tarifa are very popular with surfers and kiteboarders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Map_with_points_of_interest_on_your_phone\"><\/span>Map with points of interest on your phone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Save a map of the best places in Seville directly to your phone.<\/strong>  After purchase, you will receive a link to a non-public Google Map, which you can save by clicking &#8221;Follow\/Follow&#8221;.
