About Seville

Seville is the capital of southern Spain’s Andalusia region. Major landmarks include the ornate Alcázar, built during the Moorish Almohad dynasty, and the 18th-century Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza bullring. The Gothic Seville Cathedral is the site of Christopher Columbus’s tomb and a minaret turned bell tower, the Giralda.

It is situated on the lower reaches of the River Guadalquivir, in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula. The Seville harbor, located about 80 kilometres (50 miles) from the Atlantic Ocean, is the only river port in Spain. 

The mythological founder of the city is Hercules, commonly identified with the Phoenician god Melqart, who the myth says sailed through the Strait of Gibraltar to the Atlantic, and founded trading posts at the current sites of Cádiz and Seville.

It constantly changed jurisdiction between Muslims and Catholics until 1248 when it was finally incorporated to the Christian Kingdom of Castile. 

The passage of the various civilizations instrumental in its growth has left the city with a distinct personality, and a large and well-preserved historical centre. A city well equipped with all sorts of infrastructure and specialized center to accommodate small and massive events  and conferences.
