With a population of 1.3 million, Seville (Spanish: Sevilla) is Spain’s fourth largest city and is the cultural, political and artistic heart of the south. 

According to the Greeks and Romans, the city of Hispalis was founded by Herakles, the greatest of the Greek heroes. Although no one knows for sure if that was the case, what is certain is that the city (now known as Seville) has always been one of the most important centers for commerce in the world. Before the arrival of the Romans in Iberia, the city was used as a center of trade by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, among others. From 711 until 1248, the city was an important port for the Moors, who named it Isbiliyyah.
