HISTORY OF SEVILLE 

The origin of Seville dates back to the 3rd century BC. In fact, it was in this city that the later emperors of the Roman Empire (Publio Elio Adriano and Marco Ulpio Trajano) were born. During the tour, you will be able to see how numerous avenues and buildings are named after both emperors.

In the Middle Ages, after Christopher Columbus landed on the American continent, Seville obtained by the Catholic Monarchs the monopoly on international trade with India. It was thanks to its geopolitical importance that it became a major city. When the bourgeoisie started to proliferate, the nobles who settled in the city for monetary interest started to build large palaces and residences (14th-15th century)This is the reason why the urban planning of Seville is so beautiful. Most of these buildings are still preserved and can be visited today. 

More recently Seville has become popular for its idiosyncrasy and the friendliness of its inhabitants, for being the cradle of art, of flamenco and of world famous artists such as Diego de Velázquez or Santa Justa and Rufina, patron saints of Seville.
