History and architecture enthusiasts will be in their element in the working-class neighbourhood of La Macarena.
La Macarena is the neighbourhood for you if you’re coming to Seville for its history and architecture. This is one of the city’s most traditional neighbourhoods. It’s a working-class neighbourhood with a rich history, and you really get a sense of that as you walk through the streets here. Thanks to its important monuments, numerous churches, many legends and unique traditions, it is almost a city in its own right. One of these traditions centres entirely on the Basílica de la Macarena, the church situated in the heart of the neighbourhood and dedicated to La Virgen Macarena. This Blessed Virgin is so beloved that visitors from all over Spain come to visit and worship her.
