Palaces, cathedrals, and hidden convents sit surprisingly close together in Seville, but their stories span empires. This walk links the Real Alcázar, Seville Cathedral and the Giralda, the Archivo de Indias, Casa de Pilatos, and quieter monasteries into one story of royal power and everyday devotion. Follow the GPS map, tap for audio-style storytelling, and pause for sweets in convent squares or shade in tiled patios. It is a smart, flexible way to see Seville’s royal and sacred quarter on foot, and one of the most rewarding things to do in Seville if you love history.
Highlights
Real Alcazar of Seville — royal palace blending Moorish arches and Renaissance halls; explore tiled patios where monarchs and diplomats once walked.
Seville Cathedral & Giralda — the world’s largest Gothic church; climb the ramped tower and hear how it rose on the site of a great mosque.
Archivo de Indias — Spain’s archive of the Americas; centuries of imperial trade, voyages, and conquests preserved in one grand chamber.
Iglesia del Salvador — baroque grandeur inside a former mosque; ornate altars reveal how faith and art intertwined in Seville’s Golden Age.
Hospital de los Venerables — a retreat for aging priests turned art center; Murillo’s legacy and Baroque frescoes surround its serene patio.
Palacio de San Telmo — palace of navigators and later kings; its Churrigueresque portal hides stories of explorers and political intrigue.
Plaza del Cabildo — a hidden semicircle near the Cathedral; arcades, fountains, and flea markets that few visitors ever stumble upon.
Convento de San Leandro — home to Seville’s famous yolk sweets; nuns’ voices echo in cloisters where recipes are passed in silence.
Casa de Pilatos — a noble mansion of Mudejar tiles and Roman statues; its patios read like a catalog of Seville’s layered history.
Plaza Nueva & City Hall — the civic heart of Seville; watch modern life unfold beneath façades where monarchs once addressed crowds.
Monastery of Santa Paula — an active convent with a small museum; cloisters and relics whisper stories of devotion across centuries.
