Welcome to Seville! , the city where I live in. As capital of Andalusia, it is the fourth largest city in Spain with a population of 704.114 inhabitants within the metropolitan area.
The city is one of the most touristic spot in the country. There are lots of interesting places to visit, as the Cathedral and its Giralda tower, the Plaza de España (Spain's square), the Alcazar (Fortress), the Fine Arts Museum... Of course, there are two important traditional events in town: the Holy Week (religious) and the April's Fare (festive). I'm increasing my page constantly because I would like to show you every monument and interesting fact of my city. Please, visit it frequently and comment to me what do you think about!
Let's go to discover this amazing city!

|  | The Seville's coat-of-arms represents the King Ferdinad III, the Saint (1230-1252), who reconquered the city from the Moorish in 1248. He is between the Sevillian bishpops Saint Leander and Saint Isidoro. There is the motto "NO - DO" linked by a skein above them. It's an hieroglyphic granted by the King Alphonso the Wise (1252-1284) to the city being grateful for the loyalty with him. It's read "NO - MADEJA - DO" in Spanish (It didn't give me up)
El escudo de Sevilla representa al Rey Fernando III el Santo (1230-1252), que reconquistó la ciudad en 1248. Está entre los dos obispos sevillanos San Leandro y San Isidoro. Sobre ellos está el lema "NO - DO", unido por una madeja. Es un jeroglífico otorgado por el Rey Alfonso X el Sabio (1252-1284) a la ciudad para agradecerle su lealtad con él. Se lee "NO - MADEJA - DO" (No me ha dejado) |

The Archivo was the neatest thing I visited in Sevilla--everything in the city was worthwhile, this was just the best! It is the sexiest, friendliest city I have been to outside of north America. | unaS Fri Jul 3, 2009 10:28 UTC
