El Centro, Seville

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

El Centro, in the context of Seville, Spain, is a catch-all term used to refer to the large historical center of Seville (the largest of any European city). It is coterminous with a city district Casco Antiguo, and actually contains many neighborhoods, or parts of neighborhoods. Often these are just a handful of streets around a particular plaza. Some of these are listed below:

  • El Arenal
  • La Macarena
  • La Alameda
  • Campana
  • Encarnacion
  • Alfalfa
  • Santa Cruz
  • Plaza de Armas
  • San Lorenzo

It should be noted that the Ayuntamiento (municipal government) has a distinct notion of neighborhood layout than that traditionally possessed by most residents.
