Seville Cruise: Discover Cruises to Seville & Cadiz Spain

Seville was founded by the Romans, but it was the Muslims, who ruled southern Spain for 500 years between 711 AD and 1248 AD, who really shaped the city. You’ll see their architectural legacy everywhere, from the Torre del Oro to the Giralda Tower, parts of the Alcázar, and the Patio de los Naranjos.

The Christians reconquered Andalucia in 1492, and Seville entered a golden age of expansion and exploration of the New World. Many Moors stayed behind, which gave rise to the beautiful Mudejar art form which developed as Moorish craftsmen were employed by Christian rulers.

Nowadays, the city is a center of financial services, trade, education, technology, and tourism. You’ll find a vibrant culture with passionate flamenco at its heart, as well as a long tradition of bullfighting and a thriving tapas scene. Seville is one of the hottest cities in Spain, so in summer, many businesses still close for siesta in the afternoon.
