{{Main|Sights and landmarks of Seville}}
Seville is a big tourist centre in Spain. In 2018, there were over 2.5-million travellers and tourists who stayed at a tourist accommodation, placing it third in Spain after Madrid and Barcelona. The city has an overall low level of seasonality, so there are tourists year-round.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Guaita Martínez |first1=José Manuel |last2=Martín Martín |first2=José María |last3=Salinas Fernández |first3=Jose Antonio |last4=Mogorrón-Guerrero |first4=Helena |title=An analysis of the stability of rural tourism as a desired condition for sustainable tourism |journal=Journal of Business Research |date=July 2019 |volume=100 |pages=165–174 |doi=10.1016/j.jbusres.2019.03.033 |s2cid=159374518 |hdl=10481/87452 |hdl-access=free }}</ref> There are many landmarks, museums, parks, gardens and other kinds of tourist spots around the city so there is something for everyone. The Alcázar, the cathedral, and the [[General Archive of the Indies]] are UNESCO [[World Heritage Site]]s.

Many of the city's most important sights and monuments are located in the historic centre (Casco Antiguo). To the north of the centre is the Macarena neighbourhood, which contains some important monuments and religious buildings, such as the Museum and Catholic Church of ''La Macarena'' or the ''[[Hospital de las Cinco Llagas]]''. Across the river, on the west bank of the Guadalquivir, the neighbourhood of Triana had an important role in the history of the city.

One of the city's most prominent landmarks is the cathedral's bell tower, the [[Giralda]], formerly the minaret of the Almohad mosque. The minaret's main shaft is a little over 50 meters tall. The tower was further heightened in the 16th century by the addition of a large Renaissance-style [[Belfry (architecture)|belfry]], which brings its total height to around 95 or 96 meters.<ref name="Sanchez-2022">{{Cite journal |last1=Sánchez |first1=Emilio Romero |last2=Esteban |first2=Antonio Morales |last3=Casas |first3=Jaime Navarro |date=2022 |title=Analysis of the Historical Settlements of the Giralda |journal=International Journal of Architectural Heritage |volume=17 |issue=8 |pages=1312–1330 |doi=10.1080/15583058.2022.2034070 |issn=1558-3058 |s2cid=247005340 |doi-access=free |hdl=11441/135733|hdl-access=free }}</ref><ref name="Solis-2012">{{Cite journal |last1=Solís |first1=Mario |last2=Domínguez |first2=José |last3=Pérez |first3=Lorenzo |date=2012 |title=Structural Analysis of La Giralda's 16th-Century Sculpture/Weather Vane |journal=International Journal of Architectural Heritage |volume=6 |issue=2 |pages=147–171 |doi=10.1080/15583058.2010.518660 |issn=1558-3058 |s2cid=109405965 |hdl=11441/140037|hdl-access=free }}</ref> The top of the tower is crowned by the ''Giraldillo'', a cast bronze [[weather vane]] sculpture, from which the name "Giralda" is derived.<ref name="Solis-2012" />

=== Palaces and mansions ===
[[File:Salón de Embajadores, Real Alcázar de Sevilla.jpg|left|thumb|The ''Salón de Embajadores'' in the [[Alcázar of Seville]]]]
To the south of the cathedral, the Alcázar is a sprawling palace and garden complex which served as the city's center of power. The site was occupied since ancient times but was located outside the Roman city walls.<ref name="Bloom-2009">{{Cite book |last= |first= |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=un4WcfEASZwC&dq=grove+encyclopedia+islamic+%22site+of+the+Alc%C3%A1zar%22&pg=RA2-PA198 |title=The Grove Encyclopedia of Islamic Art and Architecture |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=2009 |isbn=978-0-19-530991-1 |editor-last=M.

Some limited parts of the palace still date from its 12th-century expansion under Almohad rule, but most of the site was redeveloped after the Christian conquest of the city in the 13th century. A major construction campaign took place in the 1360s under Pedro I, who constructed a new palace in Mudéjar style, aided in part by craftsmen from [[Granada]]. Richly-decorated chambers and courtyards date from this period, such as the ''Patio de las Doncellas'' and the ''Salón de Embajadores''.<ref name="Bloom-2009" /><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ruggles |first=D.

Other historic mansions include the [[Palace of the Countess of Lebrija]], the ''[[Palacio de las Dueñas]]'', and the ''[[Casa de los Pinelo]]s''.

They were expanded under the Almoravids in 1126 and in 1221 the Almohads added a moat and a second outer line of walls. Most of the walls were demolished after 1861 to reduce restrictions on urban development, but a significant portion of the northern walls can still be seen today.<ref name="Navarro Rivas-2005b" />

The ''[[Torre del Oro]]'' is an Almohad defensive tower dating to 1220–1221. The tower was integrated into the city's defensive system and protected the city's harbour, along with another tower across the river. Between the bases of the two towers a chain could be raised to block ships and prevent entry into the port.<ref name="Bennison-2016">{{Cite book |last=Bennison |first=Amira K. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=19JVDwAAQBAJ |title=The Almoravid and Almohad Empires |publisher=Edinburgh University Press |year=2016 |pages=325–326 |isbn=978-0-7486-4682-1 |language=en}}</ref>

===Other parks and gardens===
In addition to the large Parque de María Luisa, the city contains other parks and gardens, including:
* The Alcázar Gardens, within the grounds of the Alcázar palace, consist of several sectors developed in different historical styles.
* The Gardens of Murillo and the Gardens of Catalina de Ribera, both along and outside the south wall of the Alcázar, lie next to the Santa Cruz quarter.
* The ''Parque del Alamillo y San Jerónimo'', the largest park in Andalusia, was originally built for [[Seville Expo '92]] to reproduce the Andalusian native flora. It lines both Guadalquivir shores around the ''San Jerónimo'' [[meander]]. The 32-metres-high bronze sculpture, ''[[Birth of a New Man|The Birth of a New Man]]'' (popularly known as Columbus's Egg, ''el Huevo de Colón''), by the Georgian sculptor [[Zurab Tsereteli]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/sevilla/abc.sevilla/1994/09/08/056.html |title=ABC Hemeroteca |website=ABC|location=Spain |access-date=12 March 2012}}</ref> is located in its northwestern sector.
* The American Garden, also completed for Expo '92, is in [[La Cartuja]]. It is a public botanical garden, with a representative collection of American plants donated by different countries on the occasion of the world exposition. Despite its extraordinary botanical value, it remains a mostly abandoned place.
* The [[Buhaira Gardens]], also historically known as the ''Huerta del Rey'', are a public park and historic site, originally created as a garden estate during the Almohad period (12th century).<ref name="Turismo Sevilla-2022">{{Cite web|title=Buhaira Palace and its Gardens|url=https://www.turismosevilla.org/index.php/en/what-see-and-do/heritage/monuments/buhaira-palace-and-its-gardens|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220121010152/https://www.turismosevilla.org/index.php/en/what-see-and-do/heritage/monuments/buhaira-palace-and-its-gardens|archive-date=21 January 2022|access-date=20 January 2022|website=Turimo de la Provincia - Sevilla}}</ref><ref name="Arnold-2017">{{Cite book|last=Arnold|first=Felix|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bXjXDQAAQBAJ&dq=Islamic+Palace+Architecture+in+the+Western+Mediterranean&pg=PP1|title=Islamic Palace Architecture in the Western Mediterranean: A History|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2017|isbn=978-0-19-062455-2|location=|pages=}}</ref>{{Rp|page=211}}
