Impressions of Seville
I heard that European countries would close their attractions, shops, and restaurants early on Christmas Eve to go home and celebrate. I planned to arrive in Seville on the 24th and go to the Spanish Square after checking in. It was just at sunset, with no tickets and time restrictions, which seemed like a perfect arrangement. Today is Christmas, all attractions are completely closed. This time in Seville, I have to leave some regrets. The palace and the cathedral are closed, and the plan to visit the great navigator Columbus can only be postponed. I can only wander around the streets, look at the exterior of the attractions and the street view, which also feels quite beautiful. The picture limit in the text is used up, a solid 20, and it seems not enough.
Seville, the capital of Andalusia, has a long history. I once heard an Arab proverb: If you haven't been to Seville, you can't be considered well-traveled. The city, which has been built for more than 2000 years, has experienced the rule of six civilizations, leaving countless architectural treasures. Seville is a very special city, where the Romans, Arabs, Islam, and Christianity have all left some buildings. Seville is quite inclusive. In 1248, after Christianity defeated the Muslims and recaptured Seville, they directly used the mosque as a church until 1402. Then they rebuilt the church on the old site. After 100 years of hard construction, Seville Cathedral became the largest church in the world. Although the church is defined as Gothic, it still retains the original Islamic architectural features, such as the Giralda, which was transformed from the original mosque's minaret, and is now the symbol of Seville. The great navigator Columbus is buried here.
The Royal Palace of Seville is a huge and beautiful palace. It's a bit regrettable that it can't be visited because of the holiday. Some people even say it can be compared to heaven.
There is also a Golden Tower by the river, which is also one of the iconic buildings of Seville, Salvador Square, St. Jorge Castle, Santa Cruz Street, and the old bullring. There is an old bridge on the river - Isabel II Bridge. In short, the city layout and planning are very wonderful, the streets are clean and tidy, and it's pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.
In addition to architecture, the origins of bullfighting and flamenco are related to Seville. There are many stories circulating here, which provide material for musicians. Musicians Mozart and Rossini have created 'The Marriage of Figaro', 'Carmen', 'Don Juan', and 'The Barber of Seville' based on the material of Seville.
I didn't expect to encounter the Christmas holiday break. According to Chinese customs, holidays should be more welcoming to tourists. It still applies the old Arab proverb 'If you haven't been to Seville, you can't be considered well-traveled'. I thought my arrangement was perfect, but I still fell into the pit. Hehe🤭, the itinerary and hotel for the next part have been confirmed, so I have to give up and continue the next itinerary. Use the photos in the text to promote Seville. Maybe there will be a chance to come again in the future.
Wonderful way to spend an afternoon! This beautiful complex is filled with colorful courtyards, gardens, water features, and history. The architecture is iconic and recently celebrated as a set for Game of Thrones. If you are in Seville this site is not to be missed!
Ok! Mainly gardens. The Palace of Seville is the oldest royal palace in Europe and has been selected as a world cultural heritage. The Palace was built in 1181 and lasted for more than 500 years. The history of the palaces of Islam and Catholicism has made the palaces of Seville appear to be mixed with various styles.
