Discover the Archivo de Indias
The General Archive of the Indies is considered one of the most important monumental buildings in the city due to its historical character. This building houses centuries of stories and documents that trace the history and evolution of the city. Thanks to it, thousands of visitors can explore the history of Seville.
Among its curiosities is its name. This name dates back to the Spanish colonisation of America and comes from the fact that Christopher Columbus believed he was heading to the Indies, which is where its name originates.
For the most curious and detail-loving, we can tell you that inside there are more than 8 kilometres of documents, among them up to 8,000 maps.
However, this imposing building stands out not only for its history and documentary value but also for its magnificent historic architecture. You can visit it and enjoy the exhibitions held there, although it is also used for important events.
A gem in the heart of the city that shares an avenue with the majestic Seville Cathedral.
Its pedestrian walkway lets you enjoy its beautiful gardens and columns.
A must-visit for historians and lovers of good reading.
