Seville is the capital of southern Spain’s Andalusia region. It's famous for flamenco dancing, particularly in its Triana neighborhood. Major landmarks include the ornate Alcázar castle complex, built during the Moorish Almohad dynasty, and the 18th-century Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza bullring. The Gothic Seville Cathedral is the site of Christopher Columbus’s tomb and a minaret turned bell tower, the Giralda. Wikipedia

No trip to Seville would be complete without a visit to the city’s iconic Cathedral. Officially the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, the sheer size of the building alone makes it worth exploring. Once inside, you can appreciate the detail and intricacy of the decoration, with no corner left unadorned. Also, don’t miss out on the chance to head up the Giralda tower, which was the minaret from when the building was originally a mosque. From the top, you can take in some incredible views of Seville - not to be missed! Source

Metropol Parasol

Seville, Spain is a city recognized for its wealth of unmissable sites.While many of these places are recognized for their historic significance, there are many contemporary sites that deserve the attention of affluent travellers as well.
Among these worthwhile monuments is the Metropol Parasol - locally recognized as Las Setas de la Encarnación ("Incarnación's Mushrooms") due to their quirky shape. 
Boasting six parasols and four levels, the design of this structure was inspired by the vaults of the Seville Cathedral and the ficus trees in Plaza de Cristo de Burgos. 
The underground level is the Aniquarium, where Roman and Moorish remains were discovered during the construction of the structure. At street level is a market and a public plaza often used for events. Both the second and the third levels are platforms that feature a restaurant and fantastic views of the city center. 
Today, the Metropol Parasol is commonly used as a meeting spot for locals or as a shaded place to hangout during the hot summer months. Source

The landmark blends Renaissance and Moorish Revival architecture styles. Today, it's a great spot for people-watching and general leisure. Source
