Ciudad de la semana: SEVILLA
Seville is the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of Andalusia and the province of Seville, Spain. It is situated on the plain of the River Guadalquivir. The inhabitants of the city are known as sevillanos (feminine form: sevillanas) or hispalenses, after the Roman name of the city, Hispalis. Seville has a municipal population of about 703,000 as of 2011, and a metropolitan population of about 1.5 million, making it the fourth-largest city in Spain and the 30th most populous municipality in the European Union.
Its Old Town, the third largest in Europe with an area of 4 square kilometres (2 sq mi), contains three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Alcázar palace complex, the Cathedral and the General Archive of the Indies. The Seville harbour, located about 80 kilometres (50 miles) from the Atlantic Ocean, is the only river port in Spain. Seville is also the hottest major metropolitan area in Europe, with summer average high temperatures of above 35 °C.
Many different cultures have been present in the history of Seville. Their legacy over six centuries has shaped the cultural, architectural and artistic heritage that we can admire in Seville’s streets and museums.
Ruinas romanas de Itálica
The area surrounding Seville (Alcalá del Río) was the scene of the final battle between the Romans and the Carthaginians (206 BC) and the site of the founding of the first Roman colony: Itálica, as it was named in honor of its founders. Julius Caesar (45 BC) made the sevillanos full-fledged Roman citizens, calling the city Julia Romula Hispalis. Although Seville had large and luxurious temples, circuses, and amphitheatres, everything had disappeared, according to Rodrigo Caro when he wrote in the 17th century. Yet another reason to visit the Museo Arqueológico, where the Roman period is wonderfully represented by findings from Itálica.
Reales Alcázares de Sevilla
The figures on the city’s coat of arms, San Leandro and San Isidoro, who flank the conquering king on both sides, invoke the Visigothic period overshadowed by the splendor of the Arab-controlled Seville that would immediately follow (712 AD).
The city became part of the Kingdom of Castile when it was conquered by King Santo Fernando in 1248. The city saw its mosques transformed into places of the Christian religion, and the same thing happened to the Large Mosque. But a century and a half later, the ruined state of the mosque made the Ecclesiastic Council make the decision to tear it down and build in its place the Cathedral, the unrivaled symbol of Christian Seville. We must remember from the Medieval era King D. Pedro, built Palacio Mudéjar in the walled area of the old Muslim Alcázar (14th century).
Detalle de la Plaza de España.
It was in the 16th century when Seville, following the discovery of the America, became the Puerto de Indias, which monopolized commerce with the New World. The Casa de la Contratación was headquartered in the Alcazares, and the merchanted order the Casa Lonja to be built, which centuries later would become the Archivo de Indias.
Fachada del Parlamento de Andalucía
The 17th century brought universally known artistic figures, even though in economic terms, there was an unfortunate progressive shift of commerce with the Americas to Cádiz. The Hermandades de Pasión (Holy Week groups) that took their images out into the streets in an unorganised way were regulated, creating the official pathway for Holy Week marches, a mandatory schedule that determined where each group had to march in an order determined by seniority. This was the beginning of Holy Week, which, together with deep religiosity, gave rise to figures like Montañés, Murillo ,Zurbarán, and Valdés Leal, whose works we can find in the Museo de Bellas Artes (Fine Arts Mueseum) and scattered throughout different parishes. Important religious buildings were constructed: the Iglesia de la Caridad, el Salvador, and the impressive San Luis de los Franceses. Leandro de Figueroa, the quintessential figure of the Baroque in Seville, is present in all these works.
The 18th century saw the construction of a new tobacco factory, an industrial building that made Carmen la Cigarrera famous worldwide. Another site of this same work, the Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza, also began to be built, but it would not be finished until the following century.
The Romanticism of the 19th century made Seville an exotic destination for travel pioneers. Some were good drawers and left the city notes in which the fortified wall, which ended up being torn down to make communication between both sides easier, was still intact.
There are two examples of cast-iron architecture in Seville: one is the first bridge over the River Guadalquivir, the Triana bridge, which was based on the Carrousel Bridge in Paris; the other is the Naves del Barranco.
The 20th century began with the excitement of preparing for an exposition that was delayed for different reasons, finally coming together in 1929. The Ibero-American Exposition left us with Plaza de España, Plaza de América, and the pavillions of the participating countries, which evoke their indigenous pre-Columbian cultures. The century ended with another exposition, the Expo 92, which commemorated the Quincentennial of the Discovery of America and which, from an urban planning point of view, brought about not only the incorporation of Isla de la Cartuja but also the elimination of two old train stations that were a large obstacle to the city’s internal railways, the construction of Santa Justa, the high-speed train, the ring roads, etc.

Toledo City of Three Cultures
A throughout its long history, Toledo has always been known as a city of tolerance or the City of Three Cultures, with the coexistence of Jews, Muslims and Christians. The city was never a clearly divided by neighborhoods of each of the religions, but there are areas of greater influence of each.
Toledo Christian
Toledo was Christian since the fourth century, being part of the Roman Empire, it was during the Visigothic kingdom (struggling with the Arian doctrine) and spent the centuries of coexistence between the three religions, Muslim, Jewish and Catholic, to arrival of the Reconquista.
In the seventeenth century, then "city convent" had nearly seventy ecclesiastical buildings or related uses such as schools, hospices, hospitalitos, chapels.
The Oldest Established churches as Santa Justa and Rufina, were remodeled several times, according to the needs and tastes of their patrons. After the confiscations nineteenth century, many of these buildings started to have civilian uses, private or administrative.
Arabic Toledo
The urban structure of Toledo is Arab, with its narrow, winding streets, its houses whose roofs almost touch, but the windows never look ahead. Buildings that enclose public view your most precious jewels, the greenery-filled courtyards, tiled fountains. Of the dozen mosques that existed two left, the Cristo de la Luz, in the year 999 and the lathe, somewhat later.
The mosque was on the current site of the cathedral, but it seems that there was a remarkable building, only spacious to accommodate all the male inhabitants of the city. The area of the Alcázar and the current Museum of Santa Cruz with its area adjacent to the Puente de Alcántara, had walls that separated the citadel itself, its garrison and palaces, the rest of the city.
The southern suburbs, adjacent to the river, were occupied by the tanneries, dyeing and other water-related facilities. It is assumed that there built his legendary aquatic watch and calendar Azarquiel the great astronomer.
Alfonso VI doors or hinge Vieja, the Vado and Alcantara and Twelve Cantos have Arab structures. The wheel on the banks of the Tagus, in the park Safont is inheritance Muslim irrigation techniques. But above all, the most obvious legacy is omnipresent Moorish aesthetics in architecture and decoration with the use of brick, masonry, interlocking the various arches, the wooden ceilings and rich plasterwork, used for centuries in all types of buildings , including the cathedral.
Toledo Jewish
The only two synagogues still standing today induce call the neighborhood where they are, the Jewish Quarter, where there is the highest concentration of the Jewish population, but actually in the city came to be a total of ten synagogues scattered throughout his site.
Your limit would be the former parish of St. Martin in the vicinity of the Puerta del Cambron and the remains of defensive constructions above the Puente de San Martín, traditionally called the Castle of the Jews, in line almost straight up the street from Angel . Here we find the Jewish Gate XII century to the beginning of which there are remains of houses, ritual baths in their basements. Also the area of Commercial Street and the site occupied since the fourteenth century the cathedral cloister was known as the Jewish Quarter or Alcanáa.
Trade was one of the main activities of the Jews, who lived above their shops and workshops. It is not excluded that there were no Jews in Silver Street, were recognized as silversmiths, or any other part of the city.
