Get to know our origins and travel back in time with the enigmas, characters, stories, legends and curiosities that were lived in each of the epochs. Seville was an important administrative and commercial centre of the Roman Empire, then one of the most important of Al-Andalus, and under Almohad rule, it reached its maximum splendour. With the Reconquest by Ferdinand III, Seville became an important centre of Christianity. The Jewish community also left a very visible mark in Seville, especially in the Barrio de Santa Cruz, known as the old Jewish quarter. To explore the Seville of the three cultures is to immerse yourself in a rich history of coexistence and transformation. Every corner of the city, every monument and every neighbourhood tells the story of how Roman, Muslim, Christian and Jewish influences intertwined to create the unique and vibrant Seville we know today.
