Järjestäjä Other register

1. Rodrigo de Triana was the first person to spot the New World from the caravel Pinta on October 12, 1492, which is why we see the cry 'Land!' beneath his statue. (5 min)
2. It was the first church built outside the city walls of Seville after its Reconquista. Inside, we find an image of the Virgin of Victory, to whom Magellan prayed before embarking on his voyage to the Spice Islands. (5 min)
3. When we celebrate the Santa Ana Fair in Triana, a cucaña (greasy pole) is set up over this river. It consists of a slippery pole mounted on a boat, and the goal is to make it to the end to grab a prize without falling into the water. (5 min)
4. It is a small chapel that, due to its shape, is known as the 'mechero' (the lighter) among Sevillians. It houses an image of the Virgin of Carmen, who was the patron saint of seafarers. (10 min)
5. It occupies the site of the former Santa Ana Factory, which was established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is the quintessential ceramic factory of Triana, renowned for the decorative tiles adorning its exterior. (10 min)
6. It is a very unconventional market, known for offering exotic fruits and products you rarely find in other markets. Interestingly, it is also home to the smallest theatre in Seville, with a total of just 28 seats. (15 min)
7. This castle served as the headquarters of the Court of the Inquisition, as Seville had the highest concentration of converts to Christianity in the Crown of Castile. It was also used by Beethoven as the setting for his opera Fidelio—his only opera—which tells the story of Florestan, a man imprisoned in a cell for his political beliefs. (15 min)
8. This is a Muslim tower that served as the unloading point for goods arriving from the New World. (10 min)
