Local legend has it that the city was founded by Hercules, and Seville was known as Hispalis during Roman times. Sevillanos are famously proud of their city of contrasts, which can be both reserved and sedate while also revealing its wilder, more hedonistic side.
Be sure to visit the La Giralda; a beautiful minaret tower that shows off Seville's Moorish past. The Cathedral of Seville is one of the largest churches in the world and an awe inspiring site. Further Moorish architecture can be seen at the Real Alcazar, a stunning palace set in its own lavish gardens. Visit Seville during the spring festival of Feria de abril, and experience the city's reputation for all night partying.
