Casco Antiguo

It borders the districts of Macarena to the north, Nervión and San Pablo-Santa Justa to the east, and the Distrito Sur to the south.

The Archive of the Indies was designed as a trade exchange of American treasures by Juan de Herrera under the orders of King Philip II of Spain.

[1] Other buildings in the district include the Torre del Oro, the City Hall, the Palace of San Telmo, and the Metropol Parasol.

The University of Seville is mainly based in the former Royal Tobacco Factory in the south of the Casco Antiguo, the setting to the story and opera Carmen.

Of these, El Arenal on the riverfront was the port of Seville until the Guadalquivir silted up in the 17th century,[2] while the neighbouring Santa Cruz neighbourhood was a Jewish quarter until the Spanish Inquisition.
