The history of Seville spans the centuries and the city
contains a wealth of monuments and buildings coupled with extensive peaceful
parks with the serene River Guadalquivir flowing through the centre. The
Emperor Hadrian was born here and during the 8th Century the Moors
arrived. They stayed for 500yrs stay and left a unique legacy but it was
the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus that had the largest
impact on the city. Much of Seville was built during this time when
immense wealth poured in from the Empire and catapulted Seville into one of the
largest and one of the richest cities in Europe.
The remains of Christopher Columbus are allegedly buried in the
Cathedral which
is
the world’s largest.
