According to legend, Sevilla was founded by Hercules and its origins are linked with the Tartessian civilisation. It was called Hispalis under the Romans and Isbiliya with the Moors. The high point in its history was following the discovery of America in 1492. For all its important monuments and fascinating history, Sevilla is universally famous for being a joyous town. 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.Sevilla lies on the banks of the Guadalquivir and is one of the largest historical centres in Europe, it has the minaret of La Giralda, the cathedral (one of the largest in Christendom), and the Alcázar Palace. Part of its 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 (the second largest picture gallery in Spain) , plus convents, parish churches and palaces.It has hosted two international exhibitions (1929 and 1992) and is the administrative capital of Andalucía. The quarter of Triana on the other side of the river, La Macarena, Santa Cruz and San Bartolomé, the street of Las Sierpes, plus La Maestranza bullring, María Luisa park and the riverside walks are all representative images of Sevilla.

Transport Seville is ideal for exploring on foot. The historic centre is largely pedestrianised and is made up of narrow, winding streets, perfect for walking. Strolling through these streets and alleyways is the best way of getting to know Seville, but it’s not the only option. There’s an excellent bus service and a tram line which is operated by Transportes Urbanos de Sevilla, SA Municipal (TUSSAM) and taxis which will also take you conveniently around the city. Finally, there is also a metro or underground system operated by Metro de Sevilla.Students are able to purchase the University Card which allows unlimited travel on buses and trams for a semester or a full year.
