Lose Yourself in the Beautiful and Romantic Seville, Spain

Seville is the capital of Andalusia and the province of Seville, Spain. With a metropolitan population of about 1.3 million, it is the fourth largest metropolitan area in Spain. It is also the only city in Spain with an inland river port. The city itself has a population of 650,000. Seville is located in the southern Iberian Peninsula, in the lower Guadalquivir River valley, about 120 km from the Bay of Cádiz. The Guadalquivir River flows through the city, and the architecture of the old town still bears traces of centuries of Moorish rule. There are so many places to explore, such as: Plaza de España: Built between 1926 and 1929, the Plaza de España was designed by Seville architect Aníbal González. It artfully blends Moorish Revival, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural styles, making it one of the most famous landmarks in Seville and even in Spain. It is known as the most beautiful square in Spain. Seville Cathedral (Catedral de Sevilla): This famous religious site is located in Seville, the capital of Andalusia in southern Spain. From 711 to 1248 AD, Seville served as the capital of kingdoms established by the Goths and Moors. Tourism thrives due to the city's landmarks and convenient transportation. As one of the five largest cathedrals in the world, it ranks third, after St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and Milan Cathedral in Italy. Built in the early 15th century, the cathedral was constructed on the site of a former Islamic mosque. At the end of March, the scent of orange blossoms fills the air in Seville's old town.
