Get to know the Alcázar from the people who lived there
With the arrival of summer, the Real Alcázar of Seville starts its season of dramatised night visits. This year 2024 the title of the play will be ‘Forgotten Women in the History of the Real Alcázar’. The Seville Classical Theatre Company, directed by Juan Motilla and with texts by Alfonso Zurro, will be in charge of the performances.
Several historical characters will accompany us on the tour through the different gardens and palaces of the monument: Laura Herrera, Itimad, La Herradera, María de Portugal, Doña Leonor, Germana de Foix, María de las Navas La Trufadina, the Duchess of Montpensier and Cecilia Böhl de Faber… to find out more about them and their connection with the Alcázar you just have to sign up for one of the visits.
From 23 May to October, every Thursday and Friday you can attend these meetings. In addition, in July and August the schedule is extended to Saturdays. 60 nights of performances and 240 shows will take place this summer in Seville.
Visit the Cathedral from above
Another journey through time can be made by visiting the roofs of the Cathedral, a unique experience that will allow us to learn more about how the construction of the emblematic building took place between the 15th and 16th centuries. Seeing the Cathedral from above allows you to enjoy an unrivalled panoramic view of the city.
The peculiarity of visiting the roofs of the Cathedral in summer is that it is possible to do so at night, obtaining a totally different perspective of Seville, which will be possible to experience from 1 June. This is a unique opportunity to get to know the building and discover its history through all those who worked to build it.
Awaken your senses with Sevilla Ópera Nights
Seville’s culture is a treasure that is embodied in all its heritage. Its famous Palace Houses are revered enclaves, which house the richness and beauty of what Seville once was. These buildings have evolved over time, retaining the warmth of another era, but adapting to today. Thus, this summer the Association of Palace Houses of Seville has decided to fill the Palace Houses with life through the Opera.
A musical genre such as Opera finds its perfect setting in these works of Sevillian architecture. The Palacio de las Dueñas, the Hospital de la Santa Caridad and the Casa Salinas will become in 2024 the home of great works such as ‘The Barber of Seville’, ‘Don Giovanni’ or ‘Carmen’. An artistic experience that will awaken all your senses.
Unravel the mystery in ‘Murder Mistery
A peculiar way to enjoy a summer morning is to solve a mystery in the spectacular setting of the Casa de la Memoria Cultural Centre. The building, which dates back to the end of the 15th century, becomes a ‘Café Cantante’ in the Murder Mystery experience. It was originally built as stables for the Palace of Lebrija and was conceived as a house with a Sevillian courtyard. Today, it has become the setting for this immersive experience.
The plot begins with the murder of the flamenco singer Carmen García in the dressing rooms of the tablao. The death is surrounded by a mystery that must be solved. So, for two hours, you will become the detective in charge of solving the case.
