World Heritage Sites on the Al Andalus Train Route
Seville
Seville is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and interesting cities in Spain and the world, thanks to its history and culture.
It has 3 UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Cathedral and its Giralda, the Archive of the Indies, and the Royal Alcazar.
The Gothic Cathedral is the largest in the world, and the Giralda is the bell tower of the Cathedral, which was once also the tallest in the world at 97.5 m. It represents the most famous image of the city. On December 29, 1928, it was declared a National Heritage Site, and in 1987, it was included in the World Heritage list.
The Archive of the Indies is one of the most emblematic buildings in the city. Inside, it houses documents and pieces of great historical value regarding the Spanish presence in America.
The Royal Alcazar consists of several buildings from different periods, as its construction was carried out in various stages of history. Its gardens are one of the great assets of the complex. Currently, it is used for lodging kings and important personalities.
Cordoba
The historic center of Cordoba was declared a World Heritage Site in 2 stages: the Great Mosque of Cordoba on May 9, 1984, and the Historic Center, an extension of the Mosque, in October 1994, thanks to its monumental wealth and influence by the various cultures that have inhabited this place.
The importance and splendor of Cordoba can be seen in different historical periods, such as the Roman legacy with the bridge over the Guadalquivir River, the mosaics of the Alcazar… In Islam, it corresponds to the Great Mosque. The Jewish Quarter is a testament to the medieval period. In the Modern Age, we highlight the Renaissance addition to the Mosque; these are some examples of Cordoba’s importance in the world.
Úbeda and Baeza
The historic cities of Úbeda and Baeza were declared World Heritage Sites in 2003 and are considered the most important representation of the Spanish Renaissance, preserving their original layout from the past.
In Úbeda, civil power and private architecture were located, and in Baeza, religious power and public architecture.
These two cities have left a very valuable cultural legacy for future generations.
Granada
In 1984, the complex formed by the Alhambra and the Generalife was declared a World Heritage Site, although 10 years later, in 1994, the Albaicín neighborhood was added.
The Alhambra and the Generalife are among the great works of the Hispano-Muslim world, with their aesthetic value being of great importance, where the intelligent use of water and vegetation is paramount. In addition, future contributions that took place in the Spanish Renaissance and Baroque periods also enriched this complex, giving harmony to the whole. The Albaicín neighborhood represents the best-preserved Nasrid heritage in southern Spain.

In 1978, the old town of Cádiz was declared a Historic-Artistic Site.
Cádiz is known as the “Silver Cup.” There are several versions of this name, one of them being due to the shape of its bay. It is considered the oldest city in the West (founded in 1100 BC), an important commercial colony visited by Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths, and Muslims. It was significant in the flow of ships coming from America, a commercial activity that notably influenced its economic and cultural splendor.
