History

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 centre.

The city was known from early Roman times as Hispalis. Hispania was the name given by the Romans to the whole of the Iberian Peninsula (modern Portugal, Spain, Andorra, Gibraltar The nearby Roman city of Italica is well-preserved and gives an impression of how Hispalis may have looked in the later Roman period. This article is about the city in Spain. Italica is also the name of the cultivar group of the species Brassica oleracea, commonly known as Existing Roman features in Seville include the remnants of an aqueduct. An aqueduct is an artificial channel that is constructed to convey water from one location to another

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 centre in Muslim Andalusia.

Sister cities

Seville has two sister cities, as designated by Sister Cities International, Inc. (SCI):

Economy

The economic activity of Seville cannot be detached from the geographical and urban context of the city; the capital of Andalusia is the centre of a growing metropolitan area. Kansas City Missouri only Items for the metro area Kansas City Kansas or North Kansas City MO should go on their respective pages Missouri ( or) is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States bordered by Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee Columbus is the Capital and the largest city of the US state of Ohio. Ohio ( is a Midwestern state of the United States. As part of the Great Lakes region, Ohio has long been a cultural and geographical crossroads Aside from traditional neighborhoods such as Santa Cruz, Triana and La Macarena, those further away from the centre, such as Nervión, Sevilla Este, and El Porvenir have seen recent economic growth. Santa Cruz, is the primary tourist neighborhood of Seville Spain, and the former Jewish quarter of the Medieval city Triana is a neighborhood in the city of Seville, Spain, across the river Guadalquivir from the center and in fact the majority of the city La Macarena is a neighborhood of Seville, Spain, as well as a district although the two are not entirely coterminous Nervión is a large modern neighborhood in the eastern zone of Seville, Spain. Over the past twenty years, this urban area has seen significant population growth and the development of new industrial and commercial parks.

Due to its size and location, Seville is economically the strongest of the Andalusian cities. The infrastructure available in the city contributes to the growth of an economy dominated by the service sector, but in which industry still holds a considerable place.

Economic infrastructure

The Alamillo Bridge
The Alamillo Bridge

The economic development of the city and its urban area is supported by good transport links to other Spanish cities, including a high-speed AVE railway link to Madrid, and an international airport. The Alamillo Bridge in Seville, Andalusia ( Spain) spans the Canal de Alfonso XIII in Seville allowing access to La Cartuja, an island Ave! or aue! is a Latin phrase used by the Romans as a salutation and Greeting, meaning 'hail' Seville Airport (Aeropuerto de Sevilla is the main airport for Seville (Sevilla and is Andalusia ’s second airport behind Málaga.

In addition:

Characteristics by sector

The town of Seville and its agglomeration have, by their situation in the heart of the plain of the Guadalquivir, maintained dynamic agricultural activity. Agroalimentary industry is flourishing there. Nevertheless, for a long time the area has been looking to the future, while investing massively in industrial activities, supported by the existing infrastructures. The service sector and new technologies are increasingly important. Seville concentrated, in 2004, 31% of large Andalusian companies and 128 of the 6,000 largest national companies. In 2005, the metropolitan area counted a working population of 471,947 people, of which 329,471 (69. 81%) worked within the city centre.

Research and development

The city of Seville makes a significant contribution to scientific research, as it houses the first and largest DNA bank in Spain, through the local company Neocodex. A DNA bank is a Repository of DNA, usually used for research The NIAS DNA Bank for example collects the DNA of agrucultural organisms such as Rice and Neocodex stores 20,000 DNA samples and is recognised internationally. In addition, Seville is also considered an important technological and research centre for renewable energies and the aeronautics industry.

Through its high-tech centres and its fabric of innovating companies, the Andalusian capital has risen to among the most important Spanish cities in term of development and research. Moroever, the scientific and technological activity of the three Seville universities has to be added, whose certain laboratories and research centres work in close connection with the local socio-economic power. Thus, the Parque Científico Tecnológico Sevilla Tecnopolis gathers private and public actors in various fields of research.

The principal innovation and research orientations are telecommunications, new technologies, biotechnologies (in relation to local agricultural specificities), environment and renewable energy.

Transportation

Sevilla is served by the TUSSAM (Transportes Urbanos de Sevilla) bus network which runs buses throughout the city as well as outlying areas surrounding Sevilla. A transit bus (US (also known as a commuter bus, city bus, or public bus) is a Bus used for Public transport purposes El Metrocentro Tranvia is a tram line consisting of four stops, running from el Prado bus station, past the University and the Cathedral, and stopping at Plaza Nueva where the direction of service reverses.

By the end of 2008, the city hopes to see completion of its first metro line, almost 28 months later than originally planned. The project experienced several delays caused by various reasons, including the relocation of archaeological findings and the need for a deeper tunnel under the Guadalquivir River, to avoid possible water leakages.

The Santa Justa train station is served by the AVE high-speed rail system, and is operated by the Spanish state-owned rail company Renfe. Ave! or aue! is a Latin phrase used by the Romans as a salutation and Greeting, meaning 'hail' Renfe Operadora is the State-owned company which operates freight and passenger Trains on the 1668-mm " Iberian gauge " and 1435-mm "

Currently in progress as well is the Sevici community bicycle program which has integrated bicycles into the public transport network. Sevici is the name of a Community bicycle program in Seville inaugurated in April 2007, similar to the Vélo'v service in Lyon and Community bicycle programs (also known as Yellow bicycle programs White bicycle programs bike sharing public bike or free bike are one element of an international movement to build Across the city, bicycles are available for hire at low cost and green bicycle lanes can be seen on most major streets.
