Seville has the most wonderful mix of architectural styles It's old buildings reflect it's Moorish heritage, like Alhambra, but with the Christian overlay of the aftermath of the crusades and Charles V's influence. The lace-like wall carvings are interspersed with symbolic royal lions. Seville's 20th century buildings, many of them built for the 1929 world exposition have been converted to government and university properties. Most notably, the integrated use of ceramics with brick and stucco...sustainable in this climate, captures the love of color of this area.
