Alameda

A giant square in plain center

This vast open space in the very center of Seville, was originally fully surrounded by Alamo trees, that give the place part of its name – Alameda.

On the center-side (south) of the Alameda there are two giant Roman pillars, one of which bears a statue of Hércules, who according to the legends, was the founder of Seville, providing the second part of the name. Next to Hercules stands Julius Ceasar who visited this former roman settlement.
