Typical white country houses in Seville town

Andalucia Tour ~ Seville (Region) This is a great opportunity to learn more about the history of the area, dating back to the Taltesan people. The archaeological site of Las Canteras and Holy Week in Osuna have been declared National Tourist Attractions and will help visitors understand the essence of this part of Andalucia. Osuna, known as Turdetani Urso, stretches along the slope of a hill that serves as a watchtower over vast expanses of olive groves and cereal fields in the Seville countryside. Its long history has left a legacy of interesting monuments and works of art from the various cultures that have settled here. The "Osuna Relief" is a Turtedani work from an archaeological site in the region, preserved in the National Archaeological Museum of Madrid. The town also had a very important position during the Roman Empire, as can be seen from the "Osuna Bronze", a compilation of laws that can also be seen in the same museum. Osuna has some evidence of architecture from the Arab period, such as the Torre del Agua and the numerous canvases on its walls. Both structures belong to the Almohad period. The city's history continued with the Reconquista of San Fernando III and its incorporation into the Order of Calatrava until it came under the government of the Duke of Osuna. It was between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that Osuna began to enter its period of greatest wealth and splendor, which is why a large number of buildings were built during the Spanish Renaissance and Baroque. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Andalucia
