Discovering Seville in all the small details
Any street you walk down in the old center of Seville brings you immediately to a part of Spain that oozes Andalucía and historic Islamic character called Mudejar (Spanish rule with Islamic design and influence), only few places in Spain can live up to in this area of Southern Spain. A walk through many of the old neighborhoods of the historic center overwhelms the first time visitor with so much luxurious detail, vivid colors and intense graphic designs.
In order that you do not get overloaded and burnt out with the multitude of architectural wonders and ornate design, I am showing you the smaller details that draws so much awe and inspiration to the overall magnificence and design of this Unesco World Heritage site.
Here are some of the stunning details of Seville to savor:

It seems like every attraction and historic site one visits in Seville is so filled with amazing art and craftsmanship in the monuments and landmarks. It is an endless array of beautiful architecture, gardens, palaces, cathedrals and enormous plazas for everyone to stroll through. Seville is grand and magnificent, just how one would dream of an Andalucian experience in Southern Spain.

Beautiful city…
Love the beautiful scenes of Seville and the detail you’ve shown in the art and architecture shots. I’d love to experience any place that “oozes Andalucia”.
Makes me want to return to Seville. Beautiful shots (as always), Noel.
Just re-posted to friends heading this way next year. Time to go return to Spain. Love the pix. Olé
I love your pics, Noel! I’ve visited Spain several times, but still have not had the pleasure of visiting Seville. Hopefully … sometime soon!
so many wonderful places to travel around the world. I should have been born a millionaire to see them all!
Have a wonderful week.
I had a Spanish teacher in high school who used to rave about Seville and at 15 I did not understand, now I see your photos and I would to see it in person. I really love the ceramics, they remind me of Istanbul
Stunning! I love the architecture. I need to visit! I have only been to Barcelona and Madrid. Thank you for the lovely virtual trip!
Beautiful images of Seville! Such a gorgeous city.
Love the architecture, love your photos – and want to visit 🙂
Really wanted to like Seville, but the place just didn’t connect with me at all which is probably a shame considering the love for the city it receives.
You’ve captured it pretty well in these pictures though.
Aloha – Can’t wait to get to Spain (perhaps in 2015)! Your photos are so compelling! Love the Moorish influences in the architecture.
One of the first pieces of classical musi I came in contact with as a teen was “the Barber of Sevilla” -now I see it through your lens, it makes a perfect backdrop for that opera (operette?) – ornate is the right description!
Seville is one of my favorite cities in the world. Your photos make me want to go back soon!
We’ve pretty much decided to start our European travels in Spain next year and, thanks to your gorgeous photos, Seville will have to be at the top of the list! And you’re so right to focus on the details to avoid becoming totally overwhelmed by the beauty … absolutely stunning!
Ohhhhh those colors! Fabulous!
What rich colors in your photographs of Seville! Happy TPMonday!
Fabulous photos – makes me eager to return to Sevilla!
Some truly beautiful shots of my husband’s all-time favourite city! When we were in Seville it rained the whole time with torrential winds so I didn’t get any good exterior shots. Worth a return visit for sure!
Beautiful photos, Noel! I’ve visited the south of Spain, but I didn’t get to Seville unfortunately – it’s been on my list to go back to ever since! The colours here look so vivid.
Oh Seville looks magical… love all the tiling and ornate architecture. Beautiful photos Noel!
Ole! Ab fab Seville photos. I love the view through the arches- but they’re all wonderful. So evocative of place.
Beautiful photos that make me want to pack my bags and head right to Seville!
Beautiful photos but I’ve come to expect nothing less from you 🙂
I’m looking at your artful photos of beautiful Sevilla, with new Zentangled eyes. I am drawn in by the patterns of the mudejar architecture and design.
I should be in Seville in October. I’ll try to reproduce your first photo. 🙂 Thanks for these beautiful images.
The Moorish influence is so powerful in that area it reminds me of places I’ve visited in the middle east, the mosaics, arches, architecture. Great pictures!
Beautiful monday post… loved the horse carriage 😀
Seville is on the list of places I’d like to see. Your photos reinforce its right to be there. Fascinating architecture.
Beautiful photos, Noel. The Cathedral of Seville is the most beautiful and grandiose cathedral that I have ever seen.
The architecture really is amazing!
This looks amazing! We’re house sitting in Spain for the first time ever in August! Can’t wait
Noel! I love Sevilla, the heat, the colors, the tapas! I love it all. I was there not too long ago and recognize most of the places in your photos…so beautiful!
Seville looks absolutely gorgeous! We’re seriously planning a visit to Seville and Spain next year. Your photos are an extra enticement :-).
