Travel to España Sevilla part IV

Sevilla was founded by Hercules and its origins are linked with the Tartessian civilization. It was called Hispalis under the Romans and Isbiliya with the Moors. Its high point in its history was following the discovery of America.
Sevilla lies on the banks of the Guadalquivir and is one of the largest historical centers in Europe, it has the minaret of La Giralda, the cathedral and the Alcázar Palace. This was the most amazing palace built that I have ever seen and is part of the treasure include Casa de Pilatos, Torre del Oro, the Town Hall, Archive of the Indies (where the historical records of the American continent are kept), the Fine Arts Museum, plus convents, parish churches and palaces.Chief among Seville's wonders is the Alcázar, where Seville rulers have wielded their power from the time of the Romans. The Alcázar used to be merely a palace, albeit a huge one enlarged to feed the sensual needs of ruler al-Mu'tadid, who needed space to house his harem of eight hundred women and to hold his grisly garden of flowers planted in the skulls of his enemies.
For all its important monuments and fascinating history, while the Sevillians are known for their wit and sparkle, the city itself is striking for its vitality. It is the largest town in Southern Spain, the city of Carmen, Don Juan and Figaro.
