What will you see during the tour of the Alcázar and the Catedral of Seville?
Seville, capital city of Andalucía, has one of the largest historic city centres in Europe, along with cities such as Genoa and Venice. Its streets hide an endless number of stories, legends and mysteries. The city has been a commercial and cultural centre for centuries and has some monuments known all over the world, such as the Cathedral, the Giralda and the Reales Alcázares.
The Cathedral of Seville, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasts of being the largest Gothic cathedral in the world – built on the site of an ancient mosque – and of hiding treasures such as the tomb of Christopher Columbus or the largest altarpiece in all of Christianity, full of symbolism and secrets.
We will be surprised by its hugeness and architectural details, we will stroll through its famous Patio de los Naranjos and we will be amazed by the ascent to the Giralda, Seville‘s emblematic monument, which, at almost one hundred metres high, is one of the monuments declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The Royal Alcazar of Seville is one of the most renowned royal palaces in the world for its beauty, its architectural details and its history. It is still the residence of the Spanish Royal Family on their visits to the city of Seville.
Its pavilions, rooms, halls and lush gardens leave no one indifferent. For many, the Real Alcázar of Seville is more recognisable since it has been the setting for the filming of important productions such as the famous television series “Game of Thrones”.
Accompanied by an official guide we will get to know, in depth, the history of Seville through its most important monuments and different architectural styles. Moreover, by booking with Naturanda, you will avoid the long queues that are formed daily to access the monuments and you will enjoy your visit in complete comfort.
