According to legend Sevilla was founded by Hercules and its origins are linked with the Tartessian civilisation It was called Hispalis under the Romans and Isbiliya with the Moors Its high point in its history was following the discovery of America
Sevilla lies on the banks of the Guadalquivir and is one of the largest historical centres in Europe it has the minaret of La Giralda the cathedral (one of the largest in Christendom) and the Alcázar Palace Part of its treasure include Casa de Pilatos Torre del Oro the Town Hall Archive of the Indies (where the historical records of the American continent are kept) the Fine Arts Museum (the second largest picture gallery in Spain) plus convents parish churches and palaces
It has hosted two international exhibitions (1929 and 1992) and is the administrative capital of Andalucía The quarter of Triana on the other side of the river La Macarena Santa Cruz and San Bartolomé the street of Las Sierpes plus La Maestranza bullring María Luisa park and the riverside walks are all representative images of Sevilla
For all its important monuments and fascinating history Sevilla is universally famous for being a joyous town While the Sevillians are known for their wit and sparkle the city itself is striking for its vitality It is the largest town in Southern Spain the city of Carmen Don Juan and Figaro
The Sevillians are great actors and put on an extraordinary performance at their annual Fería de Abril a week-long party of drink food and dance which takes place day and night in more than a thousand especially mounted tents But above all it allows the men to parade on their fine horses and the women to dance in brilliantly coloured gypsy dresses
Immediately before that is Holy Week Semana Santa a religious festival where hooded penitents march In long processions followed by huge baroque floats on which sit Images of the Virgin or Christ surrounded by cheerful crowds Both Spring events are well worth

The images shown are provided to give a general impression of the establishment. It is possible that the room you book will differ from the examples shown.
This wonderfully unusual hotel is comprised of a collection of old houses and palaces, once homes of noble families and their servants, and oozes period charm, character, and a little quirkiness, around very corner. The buildings are connected by a labyrinth of passageways and stairs that lead to the different rooms and pretty courtyards filled with fountains, flowers and the scent of jasmine. Las Casas de la Juderia is located in the old Jewish quarter, close to the Cathedral and Alcazar, and is a setting to truly soak up the Seville experience.
Open from 3 to 11pm. Light snacks are available and there is regular live piano music in the evenings.
A full breakfast buffet is provided from 7.30 to 10.30am.
