Barrio de Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz Quarter is the most picturesque and delightful part of the city, it will be one of the more memorable experiences of your visit to Seville. It was formerly the Jewish quarter and some of the churches were originally synagogues. Nowadays the narrow winding cobbled streets and whitewashed houses, where you can wander through centuries-old gardens and relax on beautiful tiled benches. It is an incredible place full of history and stories, with many old palaces, churches and hidden passageways.

Walking round the small squares lined with orange trees. There are narrow alleys, where the ancient houses lean so far towards each other that they almost seem to touch, and the leafy patios of private mansions through their iron gates.
