History Near Seville | 1 Guide

Andalusia's history is uncommonly dramatic—Romans, Visigoths, and the Moors who created a civilization that illuminated medieval Europe while most of the continent slumbered in darkness. Our history guides take you to the places where this history unfolded: Córdoba where the Caliphate's Mezquita represents Islamic architecture's high point, Itálica where Roman emperors were born, and the castles that marked the frontier of the Reconquista. We provide historical context that helps you understand the extraordinary cultural mixing that shaped Andalusia and continues to define its unique character.
