The Seville Naval Tour: Magellan and Columbus you will discover the maritime expeditions marked a before and after in the history of Seville. We had a privileged river port due to its position several kilometers inland that guaranteed us protection from pirates and looters.

The Catholic Monarchs were settled here, in the Real Alcázar, when the route that would take Columbus to the Indies was being prepared, a great turning point in our history.

Without forgetting that years later it would be the port where the first circumnavigation of the earth was forged and prepared in the expedition led by Magellan and completed by Elcano on the Nao Victoria, of which we preserve a copy. We will also pass through the General Archive of the Indies where all the documents that have to do with these and more trips and expeditions are concentrated.

Without forgetting the Torre del Oro, the current naval museum of Seville, witness to the comings and goings of the sailors and crew of the ships in the port. If you want to learn more about the naval history of Seville, this Seville Naval Tour: Magellan and Columbus is your route.
