5 Seville Fun Facts

From expatliving.hk

  • The tapas scene is one of the main cultural attractions of the city: people go from one bar to another, enjoying small dishes called tapas (literally “lids” or “covers” in Spanish, referring to their probable origin as snacks served on small plates used to cover drinks).
  • A very old story says that the city was started by the famous hero of Greece, Hercules.
  • The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See, better known as Seville Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Seville. It is the tenth-largest church in the world as well as the largest Gothic church.
  • In 1519, Ferdinand Magellan departed from Seville for the first circumnavigation of the Earth.
  • Seville is approximately 2,200 years old. The passage of the various civilizations instrumental in its growth has left the city with a distinct personality, and a large and well-preserved historical center.
The Plaza de España, in Seville, is one of the most emblematic places of the Andalusian capital and has been the scene of several cinematographic productions due to its great photogenicity. Its symmetry and color make the place one of the most visited in Spain.
