The Plaza de España building with the Parque de MarÃa Luisa next to it.and the nearby Barrio de Santa Cruz which is the oldest quarter in the city with its narrow streets, small lovely squares and the Murillo gardens next to it.... Also the churches of La Macarena, Jesus del Gran Poder and a few others worth visiting. There is also a small but very complete museum of fine arts.
Seville is famous for two things, besides its historic importance, these are the processions during Holy Week, which take place during the 6 days prior to Easter sunday, and last sometimes all night.... and the "Feria de Abril" which is the local fair that lasts a whole week, during which time everyone dresses in regional costume, horsemen and carriages are brought to the fairgrounds to "parade"; there is much merrymaking, dancing, eating and drinking, which last until the wee hours of the morning.

There can be no capital of a city. Seville is in the south-west of Spain, is a very beautiful city and has a very old centre.
