To help plan your visit, we've put together a one day itinerary so you can see the best of Seville in just one day!

Alcazar of Seville

The Alcazar of Seville is a royal palace built by the Almohad dynasty in the 13th century. The palace is located in the city center of Seville, Spain, on top of a hill overlooking the Guadalquivir River. It was originally built as a fortress and later became the residence of Christian kings of Spain until 1570 when it was converted into an army barracks for Charles V's troops during his stay in Seville before he left for Germany to become Holy Roman Emperor.

In 1401, Ferdinand III founded there what would become one of Europe's most important universities: University School (now known as University School of Medicine). In 1506 Isabella I signed here her last will before departing from Spain for Aragon after being widowed by Philip II's death; this document was later used by Philip III when he tried unsuccessfully to claim power over Castile through his wife Anne (daughter-in-law) who had legal rights over its throne dueto her father being Juan II's brother Pedro de Castilla y Fajardo – althoughlegally speaking these could not be applied retroactively since they had been made long before those rights were established!

Archivio General de Indias

If you want to learn about the history of Spain, this is the place to go. The Archivio General de Indias (Archive General of the Indies) is a Spanish national archive located in Seville, Spain. It contains documents relating to the Spanish colonization of America and Asia from 1492 until 1833 when Spain lost its last colony Cuba after it gained independence from Spain. The archive is among the oldest in the Americas and one of only three worldwide that hold such documents; it was founded by Christopher Columbus himself on his fourth voyage across Atlantic Ocean in 1502 as he searched for a route back home after discovering America two years earlier.

The Archive General of the Indies is one of the oldest archives in the Americas. It was founded by Christopher Columbus on his fourth voyage across Atlantic Ocean in 1502 as he searched for a route back home after discovering America two years earlier. The archive’s collection includes more than 20 million documents and artifacts related to Spain’s exploration, conquest and colonization of Americas, as well as its trade with East Asia.

Sevilla Cathedral and Giralda Tower

This cathedral is one of the most important religious buildings in Sevilla, which was built between 1402 and 1506. It's also known as La Catedral de Santa Maria de la Sede or simply El Cristo de Giralda (Christ of Giralda), because it has an image of Christ on its spire that can be seen from all over the city. If you have time, visit inside this church where you'll find beautiful paintings and sculptures by artists like Francisco Zurbaran, Luis De Rivera and Alonso Cano. The tower attached to one side of Seville Cathedral offers great views over Seville – youcan even climb up inside if you want!

The Cathedral de Santa Maria de la Sede, better known as La Catedral de Sevilla (or simply La Catedra), was built over several centuries starting in 1402. It houses hundreds of works of art from artists such as Zurbaran and Goya, as well as many relics related to St. James – including his supposed remains!

The Giralda Tower is a bell tower attached to the Cathedral of Seville in southern Spain. The tower was built between 1184 and 1198, and then rebuilt in 1378 after a fire destroyed much of Sevilla's old town. In the 1500s, it was given its current name because of an image of Christ on top, which could be seen from, all over the city.

The Giralda Tower is another iconic landmark that stands high above Plaza de Colon with its clock tower and weather vane. The tower was originally built as part of an Almohad mosque constructed during their reign over southern Spain (1147-1248). When Christians reconquered Seville they converted this structure into a church; however today Muslims continue to worship there every Friday afternoon at noon thanks to religious tolerance policies instituted by Ferdinand III when he became king following his marriage with Isabella I in 1469 - therefore allowing Christians access while allowing Muslims equal rights under law too.
