The Giralda, which is
always an amazing sight.
A tower and part of the wall of the
Royal Alcazar. Crenellated walls
and towers are the best kind.
Fountain in the
Patio de Banderas.
No relation to
Antonio.
Amazing column bases.
Windows on the Moorish
section of the Giralda.
An early 20th century building Sevillian
architecture, with goldenrod trim and
ironwork balconies on the Plaza de la
Virgen de los Reyes. The reddish
building on the left is the
Archbishop's Palace, still in use.
A peacock on a wall on the
famed Calle Agua. Peacocks
are neat to look at, but even
more amazing to listen to.
The patio of flowers at Calle Agua 2.
The patio has a gate of metal bars, but
the owner proudly leaves the main door
open so people can look through the
barred gate. Absolutely stunning.
At the end of Calle Agua, in
the heart of the Jewish Quarter,
which, after the pogrom of 1391,
was renamed the Barrio Santa
Cruz (the neighborhood of the
Holy Cross), is one of two
Moorish water pipers that once
carried water to the Alcazar.
A beautiful patio -- arches, a fountain,
and flowers -- in the heart of the barrio.
An old Roman column brought
into a Sevillian building from
Italica, also a wonderful place
to visit.
Andalusian tiles are the best.
Millstones in a house wall. It's said that
this was a way for wealthy millers to
brag about their success.
