Seville is a beautiful city with a large old town and lots of history. Following are some of our favorite pictures of Seville.

The Cathedral and Giralda Tower. There are ramps going to the top of the tower so the bell ringer could ride a donkey up to the top.

The Gold Tower on the banks of the Guadalquivir River. This is the symbol of Seville.

Looking Across the River to Triana

The Metropol Parasol. This ultramodern structure is in the middle of the old town. We lived two blocks away.

Plaza de Espana. Note rowboats on the canal.

The Royal Alcazar. The oldest royal palace in Europe that is still in use. Originally built in the 10th century for local Moorish governors.
