Blog Santa Cruz Quarter

Located in the center of the city, next to the Cathedral and the Alcazar.

For anyone who travels to get to know Seville and even for those who were born or live in the city, it is obligatory to get lost in the streets and squares of the Santa Cruz neighborhood at least once in a lifetime.

The district of Santa Cruz has its origin in the old Jewish quarter of the city, which in times of Fernando III, became one of the most important Hebrew communities in Spain.
After his expulsion in 1483, the neighborhood went into decline and it was not until the Ibero-American exhibition of 1929 that he regained his splendour after the reforms that were carried out.

Historical Seville

A maze of narrow streets and alleys that act as a conduit of fresh air and offer shade during the time when the sun in Seville is scorching, leading to squares full of bars and terraces: the Plaza de los Venerables and Mateos Gago Street fill with life when it comes time to tapas overlooking the Giralda.

One of the most famous streets is the Callejón del Agua (Water Alley): parallel to the walls that, since Roman times surrounded the old town, brought water to the Royal Alcazars, which was also a place of lodging for the American writer Washington Irving.

This unique area of the city of Seville hides many other secrets and each corner tells stories and legends that take you back to other times.
