| Guadalquivir River and bridges
Seville is located on the coast of Guadalquivir river in 85 kilometers from a confluence of the river to Atlantic ocean. It is surprising that from Seville - is far not seaside city, Columbus has gone discover America. In the days of the Roman Empire, the Guadalquivir river becomes important as a means of marine transport, it was navigable from the Atlantic Ocean to the interior of Andalusia, or the port of Seville. Later the Muslims were impressed by its greatness and called it Guadalquivir. In the 17th century the port lost its importance. And the river sanded. For the 1992 worldfair the river was restored in its old splendor. Today you can make boattrips along the river, starting from the Torre del Oro. |
