Andalusia's capital city embodies two thousand years of cultural development, inhabited most successfully by the Romans and Moors. Today reflections of both reigning visitors exist, but the Moorish influence dominates ancient architecture in Seville. The Alcazar of Seville, originally a Moorish Fort, best represents the Moorish style. Best described as Mudejar architecture, the Alcazar of Seville displays the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Islamic influence depicted by Mudejar style. Complicated tiling patterns, brickwork, wood and plaster carving, and the use of ornamental metals decorate the Alcazar. As one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites, the Alcazar notably fulfills the first criteria: "to represent a masterpiece of human creative genius." In addition, Seville enjoys the largest Medieval Gothic religious building in the world, the Cathedral of Seville. Other than Saint Peter's Basilica, no other Roman Catholic cathedral in the world encompasses the enormity of the Cathedral of Seville. The central nave raises 42 meters and the main alter holds recognition as the largest altarpiece in the world and one of the best examples of Gothic carving in existence. Another World Heritage Site in Seville, the Archivo General de Indias, holds the most important document outlining Spanish exploration in the Americas and Philippines. If you wish to check off another world renowned historical site from your list, travel to Seville and celebrate the remnants of past "human creative genius." Seville Travel Outlook will find hotels in Seville that will enhance your return to the past.

If time allows, plan your trip to Seville around its springtime festivals, Holy Week and La Feria de Sevilla. Holy Week, or Semana Santa en Sevilla, serves as one of the city's most significant religious festivals. Encompassing years of tradition and religious beliefs, the streets of Seville fill daily with floats presenting wooden sculptures of Jesus and the Virgin Mary as believed to look during the Passion. Accompanying the floats, organized religious brotherhoods carry candles and crosses and the insignia important to their specific brotherhood. The celebration of Holy Week occurs during the week before Easter Sunday. Two weeks after Easter Holy Week, Seville celebrates springtime with a six-day festival, La Feria De Sevilla. For six days, parades leading to the city's most notable bullring, the Plaza de toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballeria de Sevilla. Towards the end of each day everyone gathers at the fairgrounds, where marquee tents line the grounds and prepare for an entire night of dancing, singing, and eating. Seville's festivals will cause even the most avid entertainers doubting their idea of a celebration. Seville Travel Outlook can plan you a springtime you will never forget.
