Temporary apartments for companies in Seville
Seville is the capital of the autonomous community of Andalusia. It has 694,000 inhabitants which makes it the most populated city in Andalusia and the fourth in Spain behind Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia. The metropolitan area has a population of 1,500,000 inhabitants.
The origins of Seville were on an island in the Guadalquivir River in the area known today as the Alfalfa. Its name was “Spal” and it is not clear whether it was founded by the Phoenicians or the Tartessians. The Romans took the city from the Carthaginians in the 206th century B.C. Later, in the place where the city of Seville is today, the emperor Julius Caesar founded the colony “Lulia Romula Hispalis”.
During the Muslim invasion, it was first the seat of a Cora and then the capital of the Taifa kingdom until it became the capital of the Almohad empire in Al-Andalus. In 844 it was sacked by the Vikings who crossed the Guadalquivir river.
In 1248 it was incorporated into the crown of Castile when it was reconquered by Ferdinand III, who was the first to be buried in the cathedral of Seville.
After the discovery of America in 1492, Seville became the economic center of the Spanish empire.
The old town of Seville is the largest in Spain and one of the largest in Europe along with Venice and Genoa. Its historical and cultural heritage makes it a city that receives both national and international tourism, occupying the third place in tourists behind Barcelona and Madrid. Among its most representative monuments are the Cathedral of Seville, the Giralda, the Alcazar, the Archivo de Indias and the Torre de Oro as well as the Maestranza bullring, the Maria Luisa Park and its neighborhoods as well known as the Barrio de Triana. Of all these monuments, the first three have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 1987.
Seville has a seaport located 80 km from the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, which makes it the only Spanish city with an inland seaport. This port is located on the Guadalquivir River and the mouth of the river is in the city of Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
With the celebration of the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, Seville experienced a great urban development creating new buildings and parks such as the Maria Luisa Park or the Plaza de España. The 1992 Seville Expo left as a legacy improvements in the Cartuja Island as well as the arrival of the first high speed train from the city of Madrid.
