Seville, beautiful and diverse

The gate de La Macarena (in Arabic: Bab-al-Makrin), also known as Arco de la Macarena, is along with the Postigo del Aceite and the Puerta de Córdoba the only three city gates that remain today of those who had the walls of Seville. It is located on Resolana street, within San Gil area, which belongs to the district of Casco Antiguo of the town of Seville.

The old convent of Los Remedios in Seville, later known as the Instituto Hispano Cubano and later as the Museo de Carruajes, is located on the right bank of the River Guadalquivir, very close to the river's edge, on Juan Sebastian Elcano Street in the Los Remedios district.

The fortress is located between the municipalities of Ecija and Herrera. Its dominant position with respect to the surrounding territory led to the existence of a major urban settlement in its surroundings during the Moorish period that survived until the reconquest.

The Herrera Thermal Complex was declared a Site of Cultural Interest, under the category of Archaeological Zone, in 2007.

The primary reason for the existence of this site is the position of the municipality close to the main communication routes in the region, as well as its location in an area of great agricultural wealth on a plain in the basin of the River Genil. 

Lebrija Castle stands on the highest point of the town from which it takes its name. It has dominated the town since it was built in the medieval period. 

Islamic gateway, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest

The Islamic, and more specifically Almohad, origin of the so-called Puerta del Arquillo, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1985, has been confirmed. This structure would be militarily related to the rest of the Islamic wall, and to the nearby Alcazar moat.

The site is a “tell”, a word of Arab origin that designates an artificial mound formed from the accumulated archaeological remains of one civilisation over another.
