This week we make a small exception and extend our agenda until Monday 12 October, taking advantage of the long weekend and the celebration of the Spanish National Day.
And it's worth it: Seville fully enters October with architecture, science, literature, humour, magic, crafts and several family plans. Also, Monday 12 will be the last chance to visit one of the most eye-catching family exhibitions of recent months.
If you still don't know what to do in Seville from Monday 5 to Monday 12 October 2026, here is our selection from SevillaLover.
1. Seville celebrates the XXV Architecture Week
📍 Various venues in Seville
📅 From Monday 5 to Saturday 10 October

The week begins coinciding with World Architecture Day and with a particularly interesting programme for those who want to look at Seville with fresh eyes.
The Official College of Architects of Seville and the FIDAS Foundation celebrate the XXV Architecture Week, dedicated this year to the 150th anniversary of the birth of Aníbal González.
Under the title Aníbal González and the transformation of the city, the programme includes an exhibition, five guided routes, lectures, debate panels and urban drawing activities. The routes allow visitors to discover how areas such as Avenida de la Constitución, Cuesta del Rosario and other points of the city changed during the first decades of the 20th century.

On Monday 5, moreover, Víctor Pérez Escolano stars at 20:00 in the opening lecture Conversaciones sobre Aníbal at the COAS headquarters. Colegio de Arquitectos de Sevilla
