Highlights

  • Unique building in Seville, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site
  • We will see priceless objects and documents that are guarded in this place.
  • Get to know this monument from a Heritage expert

Full description

The visit will begin at the main front of the Archivo de Indias and before entering we will take a short walk around the building to understand the historical relationship of this building with the surrounding monuments, the Cathedral and the Alcázar of Seville.

Later we will visit the two floors of the Archivo de Indias, and we will continue discovering the most important aspects of this World Heritage space.

Learn from a heritage expert about a key place to understand the exciting history of the city of Seville and its relationship with the Americas. You will discover that this is not just any place and that it was not even conceived as an Archive, but that it was born out of a conflict between the Cathedral of Seville and the Merchants and Traders who populated the city in the 16th century.

You will also discover all the uses that were given to this space before it was declared General Archive of the Indies, and you will see objects and documents of incalculable value that are guarded in this place. Are you really going to miss this complete Guided Tour?
