Om Secret Seville
Why is there a stone relief of Grace Kelly on the wall of
Seville Town Hall and how can you track down the railway
from the Ibero-American Expo of 1929? Where might you
find the legacy of Christopher Columbus' son, a medieval
Jewish cemetery in a car park, the oddest of barbershops,
forgotten souvenirs from the Guadalquivir steamboats,
Masonic symbols in a church, the last remaining vestiges
of the Andalusian pavilions from the '29 Expo, a little-
known Modernist electric power station, an example of
the Nazi Enigma machine, a collection of Chinese and
Japanese art in a Renaissance mansion or the pillars of a
medieval synagogue?
Far from the crowds and the well-worn clichés, Seville still
has many hidden gems it only reveals to locals and visitors
who head off the beaten track. An essential guide for
those who thought they knew Seville well or are seeking to
discover another side of the city.
