The Maestranza Theater leads the cultural offer of Andalusia and belongs to the group of opera theaters of international reference in Spain.

Opera, dance, symphonic concerts, solo recitals, big international stars, flamenco or chamber music feed a very varied offer massively endorsed by the public and unanimously endorsed by specialized critics.

With an extremely varied program, it is one of the most representative cultural spaces of the city of Seville.

Works of theater, concerts of classical or ancient music (the most prestigious Ancient Music Festival of Spain), jazz, new age, flamenco, copla, etc.

It surpasses the 180 performances per season and more than 100,000 spectators per year.

The inauguration of the Central Theater in the EXPO of 92 meant for Seville and Andalusia the appearance of a space for the extension of the scenic horizon of our citizens, a magic box (a box inside another box) to accommodate spectators and artists in a type of unique space until that moment in our country.

From then until today, theater, dance, flamenco, jazz, contemporary music and circus has succeeded year after year in demonstrating that an enriching dialogue between tradition and modernity is possible.

In the Alameda de Hércules, in the heart of Seville, is the Alameda Theater, a municipal scenic space that manages the Institute of Culture and Arts of Seville (ICAS) and that has become a reference for the exhibition of children, youth and family theater.

Nowadays, it represents the only space in Andalusia with programming mainly aimed at children.

CaixaForum Seville aims to be a space from which to contribute to the dissemination of the arts and the humanities; promote the debate on ideas, trends and research of today’s society, and encourage dialogue and reflection on major social transformations.

The building, designed by Sevillian architect Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra, through an ingenious system of skylights and an intelligent distribution of the environments allows light to be brought into the new space, achieving a pleasant balance between the introspection necessary for the exhibition halls and its connection with the unique atmosphere of the Andalusian capital.

The Unicaja Foundation Center of Seville occupies an old palace built between 1914 and 1916 by the famous Jerez-born architect Francisco Hernández-Rubio. It is a valuable example of Andalusian eclectic architecture with clear references to modernist aesthetics.

The building that houses the center has been recently rehabilitated according to the most demanding standards of heritage restoration. With a surface of more than 1,100 m2 of plot, the 680 m2 of built surface are divided into three floors that house a permanent exhibition room dedicated to the legacy of the Machado brothers, three temporary exhibition rooms and a multipurpose room with capacity for almost a hundred people. All these spaces will host different literary, musical and artistic activities. It is conceived as a space open to the public and that has an extensive program of cultural activities of interest, such as exhibitions, seminars, conferences and musical performances.

The General Archives of the Indies mainly guards the funds produced by the institutions created by the Spanish Administration for the government and administration of the Spanish overseas territories.

Likewise, other funds from smaller institutions and even individuals related to the Spanish colonies in America and Asia are conserved. The purpose of this Archive is the conservation of these funds and, through their organization and description, to encourage their dissemination for all citizens.
