Activity itinerary

Archivo General de Indias (Pass by)
Pass by the Archivo de Indias, where Spain’s colonial past is preserved, including the Treaty of Tordesillas that divided the New World. This impressive archive highlights Seville’s central role in managing the vast wealth of the Spanish Empire.
Royal Shipyards of Seville (Pass by)
As you pass by the Reales Atarazanas, imagine the bustling activity at these old shipyards where galleys were built in the Middle Ages. By the 16th century, they had become too small for the new ocean-going ships needed for the Transatlantic trade, and they were used as warehouses instead.
Torre de la Plata (Pass by)
As you pass by the Torre de la Plata, notice its sturdy walls that once formed part of the city’s medieval defenses. This tower, paired with the Torre del Oro, highlights the strategic importance of Seville.
Torre del Oro (Pass by)
Admire the Torre del Oro, Seville’s iconic golden watchtower, standing guard over the Guadalquivir River. Once a crucial part of the city's defenses, it now serves as a reminder of Seville’s rich Islamic history.
Puente de Isabel II (Pass by)
As you walk out onto the Puente de Triana, take in panoramic views of the Guadalquivir River, which played a vital role in Seville’s trade monopoly with the Americas. This bridge connects the city to the historic Triana district, known for its sailors and artisans.
Paseo del Rio Guadalquivir (Pass by)
Stroll along the Paseo del Rio Guadalquivir, a riverside promenade that was once the lifeblood of Seville’s trade empire. The river’s steady flow carried goods and riches, fueling the city’s transformation into a major port. 
Ayuntamiento de Sevilla (Pass by)
Pass by the Ayuntamiento de Sevilla, the city’s ornate town hall, which symbolizes Seville’s wealth and power during the Spanish Golden Age. Its intricate façade is a testament to the city’s flourishing arts and architecture. 
Catedral de Sevilla (Pass by)
The Seville Cathedral, one of the largest in the world, dominates the skyline as you pass by. This Gothic and Renaissance masterpiece, built on the site of a former mosque, reflects the city’s transition from a Moorish past to a Christian stronghold.
Puerta del Perdón y Patio de los Naranjos (Pass by)
Gaze upon the Puerta del Perdón, which leads into the tranquil Patio de los Naranjos, as you walk by. This ornate gate and courtyard are remnants of Seville’s Islamic heritage, now integrated into the grand cathedral complex.
Plaza Nueva (Pass by)
As you pass through Plaza Nueva, note the blend of modern life and historical significance that characterizes this bustling square. The plaza is a hub of activity, framed by historic buildings that echo Seville’s rich past.
Monumento a Miguel de Cervantes (Pass by)
Pause at the Monumento a Miguel de Cervantes, dedicated to the renowned Spanish writer who was once imprisoned in Seville. This statue honors the literary genius whose experiences in the city inspired parts of his famous work, Don Quixote.
Hospital de los Venerables (Pass by)
End your tour at the Hospital los Venerables, a Baroque mansion and museum in the heart of the old Jewish quarter. This historic building, once a refuge for retired priests, now houses stunning art that reflects Seville’s golden age.
