Most people know the Alcazar and Santa Cruz Quarter, but very few people know them with the help of an expert guide in History. The San Bartolomé neighborhood, which was also part of the Jewish quarter, is also not well known. I will show you everything in detail.

I can tailor your tour to suit you, tell me what you have in mind.

09:30 AM

Meeting Point

Plaza del Triunfo, Inmaculada Conception Monument

- We will meet in a very central place in the middle of the Cathedral, Alcazar and Archivo de Indias. It has no loss.

10:00 AM

The Royal Alcazar

It is not the same to see the Alcazar alone than with a local guide who is an expert in history. Every detail matters. Every new discovery too. You will live a unique experience within its ancient palaces and its beautiful gardens. It is the oldest royal palace in use in Europe, dating back to the 11th century. It was built by Muslims and both Islamic and Christian kings have lived there. Today it is the royal house of the current kings of Spain.

12:00 AM

Santa Cruz, the Jewish Quarter

Very narrow streets, medieval layout, a picturesque and charming place that you will fall in love with. It was the old Jewish quarter of Seville between the 13th and 15th centuries and still retains that essence.

12:30 AM

San Bartolomé, the Jewish Quarter

In San Bartolomé you can discover the tranquility of a neighborhood that still maintains its local essence, less touristy than Santa Cruz, and that was also part of the Jewish Quarter between the 13th and 15th centuries. Two of the former synagogues, now Christian churches, are on this site.

Ending Point

Hello, everyone! I'm Laura, an enthusiastic PhD History student, novelist, teacher and official tourist guide. I am finishing my thesis on Women's History and I would love to show you not only my home city, and its incredible History and Art (I am in love with its architecture) but also the unpublished data that I have found in the city's historical archives.
