Overview

During this private tour around Seville your guide will show you some of the main attractions of the city: the Cathedral and the Alcázar, both declared World Heritage Sites in 1987 by UNESCO. Also, you will take a walk through the ''Santa Cruz'' Quarter, which is the jewish quarter of Seville. Skip-the-line tickets to the main attractions are included! Nowadays, the Cathedral of Seville is the largest gothic church. It is said that its construction began in 1401 on a place where the old Mosque of Seville used to be located. Some elements of the mosque such as the ''Patio de los naranjos'' or ''La Giralda'', a minaret, are part of this cathedral at the present time. The Alcázar is a royal palace built for the Christian king Peter of Castile, in Seville in the fourteenth century. It is still used as a royal residence, the oldest royal palace in Europe. These monuments are in the ''Santa Cruz'' Quarter, full of cobbled alleys and perfumed by the scent of orange blossom.
