The short answer

Triana is the neighbourhood across the Guadalquivir from the old town: the historic home of Seville’s potters, sailors and many of its greatest flamenco artists. It feels more local than the centre, has some of the city’s best tapas, and is a 10-minute walk from the cathedral across the Isabel II bridge.

  • Time needed: half a day, or an evening for tapas and flamenco
  • Best time: late morning for the market and ceramics shops, evening for Calle Betis and the bars

What to see

  1. Puente de Isabel II (Triana bridge). The iron bridge from 1852, with the small Capillita del Carmen chapel at the Triana end.
  2. Mercado de Triana. A covered market with food stalls, tapas bars and a cooking school, built over the ruins of the castle.
  3. Castillo de San Jorge. The remains of the castle that was the headquarters of the Spanish Inquisition, now a small, free museum about religious intolerance.
  4. Calle Betis. The riverfront street with painted houses and terraces, facing the Torre del Oro.
  5. Iglesia de Santa Ana. Known as the “Cathedral of Triana”, Seville’s oldest parish church, from the 13th century.
  6. Ceramics. Visit the Centro Cerámica Triana, a museum in an old tile factory, then the shops and workshops around Calle Alfarería, Calle Callao and Calle Antillano Campos.
  7. Capilla de los Marineros. Home of the Esperanza de Triana, one of the most loved images of Semana Santa.

Where to eat

  • Mercado de Triana: tapas bars inside the market, good for lunch
  • Calle Betis and the riverfront: fried fish and drinks with a view of the old town
  • Calle San Jacinto and around: traditional bars away from the river

Some famous names locals send visitors to: Las Golondrinas (Calle Antillano Campos) and Casa Cuesta (Plaza del Altozano). More in where to eat in Seville.
