Seville has always been an outstanding city in the successive stages of its past.

In Roman times, Híspalis was the great city of Baetica. Under Muslim rule, Isbiliya became the capital of Al-Andalus in the Almohad period. Already in the Middle Ages it was a royal seat with its sumptuous Mudejar Alcazar. In the Renaissance it reached its peak as a gateway and port of the Indies. The 17th and 18th centuries left their mark with the great masters of the Baroque. The incipient industrialisation marked the romantic city of the 19th century, while the 20th century gave it back its enthusiasm with the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929 and the Universal Exhibition of 1992.

This cultural legacy is largely on display in the museums, centres and exhibition spaces of our province.
