Sevilla Hotels -- From Inexpensive to Luxury You'll Find Perfect AccommodationsSeville is the place of rich and fascinating history. The Romans governed the whole of Spain for more than six centuries. With aqueducts and long straight roads the Romans changed the face of the countryside and towns. But it was the Moslem civilization which was to have the most lasting impact on the city. Their reign lasted for nearly 800 years in Andalusia from 711 until 1492. Some of the city's most magnificent buildings stand as a legacy to this era, such as the Giralda, the Alcazar, and the Cathedral which was originally built as a mosque by the Almohads in the late 12th century, and later became the largest Gothic church in the world.
Those interested in the history of this graceful city will be interested in the old city walls and gates. One of the richest areas of Seville, in terms of the number of monuments, is the Barrio Santa Cruz, its streets narrow and torturous to keep out the sun, with houses brilliantly whitewashed and barricaded with iron grilles. Almost all the houses have patios, often large and in summer these become the principal family living room. For inexpensive Sevilla hotels as well as hostels, the Barrio de Santa Cruz is surprisingly the best place to look. Even in July and August, you'll be able to find a place on the quiet side streets, such as the Pension Fabiola, Hostal Cordoba and Hostal El Ben Dormir.

One thing to remember, though, is that Sevilla hotels should be booked in advance, especially during Semana Santa and the April Feria. Check out 4-star Sevilla hotels.
