Seville

The birthplace of artists Diego Velázquez and Bartolomé Murillo and a trade hub with the New World during the Age of Exploration, sunny Seville has been a center of culture and commerce for centuries. Shot on location, this ageless program succinctly captures the history of the ancient city, from its roots, when it was known as Hispalis, to modern times. Roman, Moorish, and Christian influences are all discussed. In addition, architectural landmarks including the Seville Cathedral and the Torre del Oro are showcased. An RTVE production. (60 minutes)
