Cathedral and Alcazares. Head northeast toward the House of Pilate and you can soon
find yourself lost in the
photogenic alleyways which in
the Cruz District pass for
streets.

Hospital de los Vernerables are
a number of shops and restaurants
catering to tourists.

de Santa Cruz
Somewhere in the Plaza de Santa Cruz
is the final resting place of
Murillo. During the Napoleonic
Wars French troops occupying the
square relocated Murillo’s
grave marker, making it impossible
to know where his remains
specifically reside.
The Cruz district is also
known for the colorful courtyards
found within the interiors of
many homes. Do not hesitate to
step up to the iron-gated doors
to look; Sevillens are proud of
their courtyards and often leave
them viewable to the people
passing by.
