After Córdoba, I continued my journey to Seville, the capital of Andalusia, Spain, a city known for its vibrant culture, stunning architecture, and lively streets.

One of my first stops was the Torre del Oro, a 13th-century watchtower by the Guadalquivir River. From the top, the panoramic view of Seville was breathtaking, with the city’s historic rooftops stretching as far as the eye could see. I also visited the Torre del Oro museum, which offered more insights into the city’s maritime history. From there, I could also see the Seville Cathedral, a true marvel.

The Seville Cathedral (Catedral de Santa María de la Sede) is one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in the world. Its soaring nave, intricate chapels, and elaborate altarpieces make it a masterpiece of medieval architecture. I explored both its interior and the views from the Giralda Tower, where the cityscape unfolds beneath you, giving a sense of Seville’s scale and beauty.

Next, I visited the Alcázar Palace, a royal palace complex known for its mudéjar architecture, stunning courtyards, and elaborate tilework. The gardens of the Alcázar were equally enchanting, with lush greenery, fountains, and decorative patios, making it a serene escape from the city bustle.

I also explored Plaza de España, a magnificent semi-circular square surrounded by elegant bridges, tiled alcoves, and grand buildings. It was the perfect spot for capturing stunning photos, reflecting the city’s blend of history, grandeur, and open-air beauty.

Seville felt like a city alive with history and charm, where every tower, palace, and square tells a story, leaving an unforgettable impression on any visitor.
