1- SAIL THE RIVER FROM WHICH MAGELLAN DEPARTED TO COMPLETE THE FIRST VOYAGE AROUND THE WORLD

In the 16th century, Seville became a universal city and achieved an unprecedented global projection in its history. Known as “The city where the heart of the world beats”, maritime activity permeated commerce, population, culture, and the very urban layout, giving it a unique character.

Seville was the true trading center of the Western world, where the five continents converged, and its river, the Guadalquivir, was the main maritime route for Atlantic traffic for more than 200 years.

2- DISCOVER THE FIRST CITY THE ROMAN EMPIRE ESTABLISHED OUTSIDE ITALY AND THE BIRTHPLACE OF TWO EMPERORS

Itálica was the first Roman city founded in Hispania (in the year 206–205 B.C.) and also outside Italian territory. Two emperors were born in this place just a few kilometers from the capital of Seville: Trajan and Hadrian.

3- VISIT THE LARGEST GOTHIC CATHEDRAL IN THE WORLD

"Let us build a Church so large that those who see it finished will think we were mad", this is how the people translated what the canons of Seville had decided in their meetings in 1401.
Seville’s is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, and there is a document that certifies it. If you already know it and want new sensations, try traveling back in time with Pastview Sevilla or discover the hidden corners of the temple by climbing up to its rooftops.

Metropol Parasol claims to be the largest wooden structure in the world. Popularly known as “Las Setas”, this construction was among the five finalists for the Contemporary Architecture Award of the European Union (Mies Van der Rohe Award 201) in 2013.
