Location: Seville city, Spain.
Getting there: Fly from most major European cities or take the train from Madrid or Malaga.
Name: Plaza de Espana is the most famous landmark in Seville and definitely the most photogenic. Built in 1928, this architecture masterpiece is worth visiting. Surrounding the plaza are fountains, bridges and classic pillars to admire.
I recommend spending a few hours here. It's free of charge and you can really take your time to enjoy the intricacies of the design.

The Most Beautiful Building I’ve Seen, Like A fairytale palace in central Seville
The Plaza De Espana in Seville is one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve ever seen, you really have to see it to believe it. It is set in a big park and the building itself is build around a man made river, in the summer you can hire boats and row along the river. The building itself dates from 1928 when it was build for an exposition, the building features alcoves for each Spanish province decorated with ornate mosaics.
The building is a short walk from downtown Seville and is on most of the major tourist bus routes, the park itself is worth exploring too as many of the old mansions of the area have been turned into museums and galleries.

Famous for its 18th-century tower and baptistery, this small chapel.
Andalusia Tour ~ Seville (Region)
The earliest record of its existence dates back to the 16th century. Its bell tower is the finest in Écija, and visitors can climb to the second level. In 1579, writer Luis Vélez de Guevara was baptized here.

The most original Baroque building in Andalucia
Andalucia Tour ~ Seville (Region)
Its outstanding features include the entrance, the slender brick nave and the 18th-century tile decoration of the bell tower. Its design is reminiscent of the Giralda Tower in Seville.
The current building was built in the 18th century on top of an old Mudejar temple. Its entrance is one of the most original examples of Andalusian Baroque architecture, famous for its unusually high arch sheltering it. Number 3 contains an interesting archaeological collection, including an exceptional marble Roman head.
It stands in the Plaza de Santa María, next to the marble monument to the patron saint of Écija.

The most famous Mudéjar-Gothic building in Andalucia
Andalusia Tour ~ Seville (Region)
One of the most interesting religious buildings in Écija, the cathedral underwent major renovations during the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. The tower, chapel, choir, oratory, sacristy and monastery courtyard all date from a later period. Built in 1766, the tower is decorated with tiles, showing local influences. The interior is in Mudejar style.
It has a unique altarpiece where paintings and sculptures form a harmonious artistic composition.

The best way to get to know Ecija
It houses an important collection of Roman art, including fine mosaics and sculptures such as the "Wounded Amazon." The museum is located in the Benameyi Palace, a fine example of Spanish Baroque civil architecture.
In addition to the Roman rooms, it houses prehistoric metalwork, various household items from the Islamic period, and other important objects, such as three warrior stelae and the "Ecija Plate" (a unique piece of Tatsia precious metalwork).
Its location, the Benameí Palace, is a symbol of the Baroque style in Essija, along with the Peñaflor Palace. Its construction began in the 18th century.

Ecija's replica of the Alhambra
Andalucia Tour ~ Seville (Region)
The building's decoration is inspired by the Alhambra Palace in Granada. It is often referred to as the Ras Thomas Palace.
It is known for its "historicist" decoration, panelling, main courtyard and staircase. Simply beautiful. As you enter you'll be surprised by the central courtyard with its Arabic style columns. The staircase is also incredible, full of tiles with inscriptions.
Admission is free for a quick tour, but because the tour is shared with the administrative offices, the schedule is limited.

Stunning palace with free entrance
#familytrips2024
Incredible architecture absolutely stunning.
The building architecture was very impressive. The design, the layout, the huge fountain in the middle of the ground, everything about it, it took my breath away!
Bring your sunglasses and hat as the square is very open when you are out without much shade. Spent several hours strolling around the grounds, taking in the sights and sounds!
Our dream destination is to go to China for my family trip as China is paradise for food lovers, offering a wide variety of culinary delights. My family will enjoy it very much.

The unintentional beauty of Seville
Spain is one of my favorite European countries, not only because it's suitable for people like me who are afraid of the cold, but also because it has delicious Sangria🍷 and Paella🥘!
During the three-month trip🧳, I planned to use very few flights to play🛩, so after going to Morocco, I planned to go to the nearest Spain🚢 by water. One of the ports in Spain is Tarifa, there are more boats, but the wind and waves are extremely 🌊🌊! So to sit on the boat, sometimes really have to wait for half a day, my brother was lucky, waited for about half a day to set sail🥲~
After getting off the boat, I wanted to step straight on Madrid or Barcelona, but found that it was too far🙈...so I randomly pointed 👆A city to which there is a bus, is Seville!
Seville is a beautiful and elegant city, I arrived deeply in love, and an accidentally unearthed treasure 秘️! But because I do not know what this city to play, so did not book the castle entrance ticket, as a result stayed two or three days can not go to the beautiful royal palace ... only later come again 😏 ~
And the picture is both Spanish Square, and a strong beautiful, and very igable place!Because it is closer to Morocco, it has some Moroccan style, with very bright colors and collage tiles. If you are lucky like me and go there on a sunny day🌞, you will really be able to take over a thousand photos📸📸📸
If you are preparing to travel, which country will you go to as your first stop?
