    Seville (Spanish: Sevilla [se'bi.ʝa], see also different names) is the artistic, cultural, and financial capital of southern Spain. It is the capital of Andalusia and of the province of Sevilla. It is situated on the plain of the River Guadalquivir, with an average elevation of 7 meters above sea level. ( 37°22′38″N, 5°59′13″W). The inhabitants of the city are known as Sevillanos (feminine form: Sevillanas) or "Hispalenses". The population of the city of Seville was 704,414 as of 2006 (INE estimate). The population of the urban area was 1,043,000 as of 2000 estimates. The population of the metropolitan area (urban area plus satellite towns) was 1,414,827 as of 2006 (INE estimate), ranking as the fourth largest metropolitan area of Spain.

    Seville is more than two thousand years old. The passage of the various people instrumental in its growth has left the city with a distinct personality, and a large and well-preserved historical center.

    The city was known from early Roman times as "Hispalis". The nearby Roman city of Italica is well-preserved and gives an impression of how Hispalis may have looked in the later Roman period. Existing Roman features in Seville include the remnants of an aqueduct.

    After successive conquests of the Roman province of Hispania Baetica by the Vandals and Visigoths, in the 5th and 6th centuries, the city was taken by the Moors in 712 and became an important center in Muslim Andalusia. It remained under Muslim control, under the authority of the Umayyad, Almoravid and Almohad dynasties, until falling to Fernando III in 1248. The city retains many Moorish features, including large sections of the city wall.

    Following the Reconquest, the city's development continued, with the construction of public buildings including churches, many in Mudéjar style. Later, the city experienced another golden age of development brought about by wealth accumulating from the awarding of a monopoly of trade with the Spanish territories in the New World. After the silting up of the Guadulquivir, the city went into relative economic decline.

    Seville's development in the 19th and 20th centuries was characterised by population growth and increasing industrialization


  2. Madrid en una comunidad autonoma por lo tanto madrid esta en Madrid, ademas de ser la capitital de España es junto con Bacelona una de las ciudades mas grandes de España.

    Sevilla esta en Andalucia, es una ciudad con gran relevancia historica, por que desde alli salian y entraban todos los barcos procedentes del nuevo mundo (America), sevilla tiene muchisma mas historia pero es demasiado larga como para contarla aqui.

    Madrid is one "comunidad autonoma" so Madrid is in Madrid, and is the capital from Spain and is one of the biggest cities from spain, together with barcelona.

    This Sevilla in Andalucia, is a city with great historical relevancy, for which from there outing and entering all the ships proceeding from the new world (America), sevilla has lot history but it is too long to write here.
