Guillena is the first official stop on the Vía de la Plata (Silver Route) when you leave from Seville. The Vía de la Plata is one of the longest and historically most important pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela. Pilgrims who start this route in Seville walk about 22-23 kilometers to Guillena on the first day. Here they find the first pilgrim hostel and can rest for the next stages north. Guillena is therefore an important starting point and a well-known name for pilgrims who walk the Vía de la Plata.

Amphitheatre of Italica

Highlight • Historical Site

The Amphitheatre of Itálica in Santiponce is an impressive Roman amphitheatre that was built between 117 and 138 AD during the reign of Emperor Hadrian. It is one of the largest amphitheatres in the Roman Empire, with a capacity of approximately 25,000 spectators. The amphitheatre has an elliptical shape and consists of three levels of stands, the first level of which is still intact.
The amphitheatre was used for gladiatorial combats and fights between animals and humans, and had an underground service pit for these events. Today it is a tourist attraction and an important archaeological heritage.
