North Seville in 2026-2027: the Macarena, Palacio de las Dueñas, Alameda de Hércules and Lebrija Palace, tickets and opening hours

Updated: 10 November 2026

The north of Seville's old town, from Calle Cuna up to the Macarena, brings together palaces with courtyards, a great 16th-century promenade, the most popular basilica of Holy Week and the best-preserved stretch of the city walls. This guide brings together what we could check on 10 November 2026 in Visita Sevilla's opening hours and prices leaflet (the City Council's tourism office, updated June 2026), the palaces' official websites, andalucia.org (Andalusian Government) and press reports, which we flag as such. Where sources disagree we say so, and anything we could not confirm is marked. The Alcázar, the Cathedral, the Setas, Plaza de España, Casa de Pilatos, Triana and Santa Cruz have separate guides. We always give the year of each fact.

Basílica de la Macarena and the Brotherhood museum

According to Visita Sevilla (leaflet updated June 2026):

Address: Calle Bécquer, 1, next to the Macarena Arch.

The Macarena Arch and walls

What we could check:

The Macarena Arch (Puerta de la Macarena) is a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) and the northern gate of the city walls; it dates from the 12th-century Muslim-era extension and owes its current look to the 1723-1795 remodelling (press, ESdiario, 9-4-2022).
It was restored in 2022, recovering its original ochre colour, and is now pedestrian-only (same 2022 report).
It is seen from the street, with no ticket. Whether the guardroom found during the restoration can be visited in 2026: not confirmed.
Beside the gate the wall continues along the ring road; we found no official source with opening hours for the inside of the walls: not confirmed.

Andalusian Parliament (former Hospital de las Cinco Llagas)

Opposite the Macarena; what we know as of November 2026:

Visits are free with prior registration on the Parliament's website, individually or as a group; entry is via the San Juan de Ribera gate (press, Demócrata, 22-7-2026).
From January to June 2026 there were 12,496 visits; the open day around 28 February, Andalusia Day, drew more than 3,400 people in 2026 (same source). The website also offers a 360-degree virtual tour.
Days, times and languages of individual visits in 2026-2027: not confirmed. Check the Parliament's website before you go.

If you run a property in the Macarena, the Alameda or the north of the old town

What travellers typically ask AI assistants:

How many minutes' walk it is to the Basílica de la Macarena, Palacio de las Dueñas and the Alameda.
Which days entry is free (Monday afternoons at Dueñas, Fridays at 10:00 at Lebrija) and how to book.
How to sign up for the free visit to the Andalusian Parliament.
Keeping this clear and up to date on your website and listings (and checking opening hours and prices every year) avoids wrong answers.

How iQuota helps

iQuota makes independent properties available to AI assistants with direct booking, payment at the property and 0% commission, with the price and terms each property sets. Properties in Seville can be listed on iQuota; we cannot guarantee that an AI assistant will recommend them.

Run a property in the Macarena, the Alameda or north Seville and want AI to give your real prices, terms and walking times to each monument, with direct booking and no commission? The first 30 hotels join free until 30 June 2027.
