Beautiful Sevilla

Collection of images of the beautiful town of Sevilla

The Giralda Tower

These shots come from a trip to Sevilla in September, 2010. They include several images of the Reales Alcazares (Royal Alcazar), the fortress initially built by Arabs in the X century, and of its beautiful gardens. The Santa Maria Cathedral is also included, with its bell tower (called La Giralda) that originally was the minaret of the Great Mosque, destroyed by an earthquake in the XV century. Many other churches and monuments are present, as well as images of  typical Andalusian houses, of the modern city and of its river Guadalquivir.
