by emeritamansala_YT
According to legend, Sevilla was founded by Hercules, and was called Hispalis under the Romans, and Isbiliya with the Moors. One of the largest historical centers in Europe, Sevilla has the minaret of La Giralda, the Cathedral (one of the largest in Christendom), and the Alcázar Palace. Part of its treasure include Torre del Oro, the Town Hall, Archive of the Indies (where the historical records of the Philippines and Spanish colonies in the American continent are kept), the Fine Arts Museum (the second largest picture gallery in Spain) , Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza (a famous bullring), and Plaza de España, the site of an international exhibition (1929). The administrative capital of Andalucía, Sevilla is the largest town in Southern Spain, the city of Carmen, Don Juan and Figaro, and the birthplace of two Roman emperors, Trajan and Hadrian.

The Alcazar: A Palace with a Split Personality (01:20)
by Intrepberkexplorer_YT
The Alcazar is probably the planet's most confused World Heritage Site. The Spanish King who drove the Moors out of Seville wanted his own Moorish palace, and hired Moors from Grenada as workers to construct a version of the Alhambra, including magnificent gardens. Another section of the Alcazar, directly attached, is a conventional European palace.
