Besides its glories as architectural marvels, the two churches are also known for something mysterious, i.e., astronaut carvings on its wall. While most of its carvings are unique, While many claim that the aliens are involved in this, or it is in fact the work of a time traveler, the mystery was soon unveiled, and it was left no mysterious after all.

Back to hotel and overnight stay.

Breakfast at the hotel.
After breakfast today it’s time to visit the main hot spots of Seville. Seville Cathedral: This enormous structure is like a little world on its own, and you will lose hours staring in awe at the beautiful architectural flourishes, relics and historical curios. With 80 different chapels it’s the largest cathedral in the world by volume and is a World Heritage site. There are also hints of the mosque that once stood on this spot, especially in the Court of the Orange trees on the north side, where Muslims once performed ablutions. The big photo opportunity inside is definitely the tomb of Christopher Columbus, but there’s something spectacular at almost every turn.
La Giralda: An enduring emblem for Seville, the Giralda is the bell-tower right next-door to the Cathedral. It has Moorish origins, being the minaret for the former mosque. What’s unusual about the tower is that 34 ramps lead to the top instead of a stairway. This was so that Muezzin who led the call to prayer could ride his horse up the tower instead of walking. To break up the monotony of the climb there are regular archaeological exhibits on the way up. And at the top the view is even better than you could hope for.
Evening visit Real Alcazar: This is a marvelous UNESCO-listed palace complex that is still in use by the Spanish royal family: their chambers, state rooms and halls are on the upper level and can be viewed if you pay a little extra. Nearly all of the complex is in the Mudéjar style (Moorish-inspired architecture for non-Islamic buildings) and was developed by Pedro the Cruel during the 14th-century.There are small glimpses of the original Almohad palace on the Patio del Yeso, for instance.
On a visit you’ll walk from courtyard to beautiful courtyard, look up at carved coffered ceilings and surround yourself in the lush greenery of the sprawling gardens.Fine views of the grounds can be had from the elevated Grutesco Gallery.
Back to hotel and overnight stay.

Breakfast at the hotel.
Today post breakfast take a break and you will be picked up from the hotel by 12 PM for your half day tour in Seville.Maria Lusia Park and It’s Botanical Garden: The largest green space in central Seville originally belonged to the nearby San Telmo Palace, dating to the 1500s.In the late-19th century the grounds were donated to the city by Infanta Luisa Fernanda and took their present shape after a remodel in 1911. Maria Luisa is one of those parks with a pleasant surprise down every path, whether it’s an ornamental pond, pavilion, sculpture or tiled fountain.The park’s broad avenues have twin-rows of tall palm trees, while the body of the park, woven with little trails, is a large botanical garden with unusual species from around the world.
Plaza de España: This colossal monument was built for the Ibero-American Exposition in 1929 and stands within the Maria Luisa Park. It’s a semi-circular plaza edged by a canal and overlooked by a large, curved palace. The palace contains many of the city’s administrative buildings, but the reason to visit is to walk beneath the gallery.You’ll see busts of important national figures but also little installations for every province in Spain.Using typical Sevillian azulejos (painted tiles) these displays showcase details like the local food and famous monuments in each part of the country.
Triana Neighborhood: On the left bank of the Guadalquivir, opposite the old city is the Triana neighborhood. This is an earth part of the city, credited for many of the things people associate with Sevillian culture, like painted ceramics and flamenco. The main way in is via the Isabel Bridge close to the bullfighting arena, here you can halt and see 250 years old bullfighting arena and moving in the said direction will make you arrive at the Plaza de Altozano, which has a much-photographed statue of a flamenco dancer, a “monument to the flamenco art”. Check out the area’s Moorish revival and baroque architecture and pop into one of the many tile and ceramics shops for authentic azulejos tiles and take a scenic boat ride.It’s like a quaint geography lesson and will hold your attention for a good few minutes.
Back to hotel and overnight stay.

Breakfast at the hotel.
Post breakfast, you will go on a full day tour of Museums. These are famous and must visit sites on your travel to Seville.
Archaeological Museum: This attraction is part of ensemble built for the Ibero-American Exposition, collecting the most important artefacts from the archaeological sites around the Seville Province. The most exciting finds are from the Bronze Age: For example, dating to the 8th century BC is Treasure of El Carombolo .This hoard belonged to either the local Tartessos Culture that lived on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, or to the Phoenicians. It’s a hoard of 21 pieces of gold jewellery, and after replicas had been on display for many years the original items were installed in 2012.
Museum of Arts and Traditions: Also part of the Exposition is this surprisingly diverting museum covering Seville’s traditional industries, households and customs. Here you’ll see everyday items from throughout Seville’s history, including ceramics from the 16th-century and large displays of swords and knives forged in the city. One section leads you through the various workshops relating to Seville’s historic trades, such as tile-making, metalwork, lacework and barrel-making for the local sherry (fino).
Museum of Fine Arts: Walking around the older parts of the city, the buildings that don’t look Moorish have a highly ornate baroque style. This is because the 17th and 18th centuries were a time of great wealth for Seville, which gave rise to a whole cultural movement. At the Museo de Bellas Artes you can see the painting and sculpture from the Sevillian School. Much of the work here is religious and comes from monasteries and convents around the city that were closed down in the 19th-century and brought here. The building is also fabulous, with a series of peaceful courtyards.
