Golden‑Age Seville, 1570
Seville in 1570 is the commercial heart of the Spanish Empire, where the Casa de Contratación organises the Indies trade and treasure fleets ride at the Arenal. The walk follows the river quays, the cathedral with the Giralda's new belfry, the Alcázar and the tight artisan quarters where pícaros, sailors and muleteers move silver, cloth and maps through the city.
35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Seville as it stood in 1570 (“History of Seville”).
