Naval Museum

The Naval Museum of Seville is not a very large museum but it has the charm of being located in one of the most famous monuments of the city, a symbol in all the photographs and postcards, the Torre del Oro.

Seville is a city closely linked to the Discovery of America, something that left a great naval mark on the city, despite not being by the sea but by the Guadalquivir River, a navigable river.

In the Naval Museum of Seville we can find drawings, engravings and numerous historical documents related to navigation.

Provincial Archaeological Museum

It is one of the museums located in the Plaza de América, which is located inside the main park in Seville, the Parque de María Luisa.

This museum, which has had different locations in Seville, invites us to take a chronological journey through history through its objects, which range from the Copper Age to later centuries, with special importance to the Roman era, with important works found in neighboring Italy.

In the same building is also the Museum of Popular Arts and Customs. If you don’t want to visit the museums, we do recommend admiring the Mudejar building that houses them.
