It faces the Guadalquivir River, representing the path to the Atlantic Ocean and America. A single building runs along its entire curved side.

Between the center and the palace are semicircular canals, spanned by four decks, representing the four former queens of Spain. You will continue the tour through the charming Santa Cruz district, where it is very pleasant to stroll past the typical Sevillian flower-filled patios. Formerly the Jewish quarter, located within the old city walls, it is part of the historic heart of the city and is adjacent to the most famous monuments of the Andalusian capital. A place of art and history, the district dates back to the Middle Ages and is steeped in legends, churches, and palaces that bear witness to its past. Renovated in the early 20th century, it is now one of Seville's most iconic districts. It is particularly renowned for its charming steep streets and shaded squares. Next, discoverthe Alcazar, home to the King of Spain and one of the oldest royal palaces in Europe.
