Get to know the most interesting museums in Seville

When you visit a city, it's not all about tapas or visiting the Cathedral. Today, we suggest you explore some of the wonderful museums Seville has to offer, all located in unique buildings that are worth a visit in and of themselves.

The Museum of Fine Arts is one of the most important art galleries in Spain. It is located in the Plaza del Museo in the former convent of the Discalced Merced, just a 15-minute walk from our hotel Casual Sevilla de las Letras and a 20-minute walk from Casual Sevilla Don Juan Tenorio. We can see everything from 15th-century Sevillian painting and sculpture to 19th- and 20th-century Sevillian painting. In its various galleries, you can admire wonderful works by the great masters of the Sevillian Baroque, such as Francisco de Zurbarán, Murillo, and Valdés Leal. There are also some gems by Lucas Cranach the Elder, Velázquez, and El Greco.

The Archaeological Museum is located in Plaza de América in the Fine Arts Pavilion of the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, built by Aníbal González in María Luisa Park. Its oldest works date from the Lower Paleolithic, culminating in the Middle Ages with Arab and Mudejar materials. Its collection includes the bronze vessels from La Angorrilla and El Gandul, the "Treasure of Carambolo" from the Tartessian period, and other treasures, such as those from Ébora and Mairena. From the Roman period, the mosaic of the Judgment of Paris is a must-see. It is undoubtedly one of Seville's must-see museums.

The Museum of Popular Arts and Customs is also located in Plaza de América, but in the Mudejar Pavilion of the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. It houses a large collection of embroidery and lace, furniture, household and craft utensils, ceramics, and more. The central hall on the main floor is dedicated to temporary exhibitions.

It is housed in the Monastery of La Cartuja de Santa María de Las Cuevas. The collection dates back to the mid-1950s and extends to the present day. There are also temporary exhibitions, seminars, workshops, concerts, meetings, recitals, film series, conferences, and more. The last of Seville's museums we'd like to tell you about is the Naval Museum.

It's located in the famous Torre del Oro, a 13th-century defensive tower. It was declared a historic-artistic monument in 1931. You can admire interesting exhibits such as navigation charts, engravings, models of old ships, and ancient documents. And remember, we're waiting for you at our hotel Casual Sevilla de las Letras, right in the city center, to explore these and many more tourist attractions.
