Triana and the Santa Cruz quarter (Seville) in 2026-2027: what to see, tickets, opening hours and where to stay

Updated: 10 November 2026

Triana, across the Guadalquivir, and Santa Cruz, the old Jewish quarter next to the Alcázar, are Seville's two most walked neighbourhoods. This guide brings together what we could check on 10 November 2026 in publications by Visita Sevilla (Seville City Council) and the Andalusian Government (Junta de Andalucía), and in press reports, which we flag as such. The most recent official opening hours and prices we found date from October 2023: check them before you go. Anything we could not confirm is marked. The Alcázar, the Cathedral, the Setas, Plaza de España and Casa de Pilatos have separate guides; we do not repeat them here. We always give the year of each fact.

Triana: San Jorge Castle and Triana Market

What the sources say and what we could not confirm:

History: according to Visita Sevilla, the castle was the seat of the Inquisition from 1481 (leaving and returning until 1785), was demolished in the 19th century, and the market was set up on its site in 1823. The City Council opened the Castillo de San Jorge project, an interpretation centre on its ruins and the Inquisition's repression, in 2009.
Visiting: Visita Sevilla's official monuments sheet (October 2023) listed it as "temporarily closed". According to the press (El Debate, 5-3-2025), it reopened on 5 March 2025 as a sacred art exhibition space, Tuesday to Sunday 10:00-17:00, with a show planned for six months. Opening hours, price and status in November 2026: not confirmed.
Address: Plaza del Altozano s/n, inside Triana Market (Visita Sevilla).
Triana Market: the current building opened in 2001 after a refurbishment begun in 1989; it stands on the castle site, archaeological remains can be seen inside, and it had about ten food and drink outlets (Distribución y Consumo magazine, 2018). Stall opening hours in 2026: not confirmed.

Triana: Centro Cerámica Triana

According to Visita Sevilla's official monuments sheet (October 2023):

Address: Calle Callao 16.
Opening hours (2023): Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00-19:00.
Tickets (2023): general €2.10, reduced €1.60. Free for people born or living in Seville, people with disabilities (plus one companion) and under-16s. General admission is free with a Real Alcázar ticket within the following two weeks.
2026 hours and prices: not confirmed; check Visita Sevilla before you go.

Triana: the Isabel II bridge, Calle Betis and chapels

A riverside walk:

Isabel II bridge (Triana bridge): built in 1852 by the engineers Steinacher and Bennetot, with three arches each spanning 43.464 m; a Historic-Artistic Monument since 1976 (Junta de Andalucía, Andalusia Tourism).
Capilla del Carmen, at the Triana end of the bridge: Monday to Saturday 10:00-13:00 and 17:00-20:00, closed on Sundays, €1.50 (Visita Sevilla list updated April 2025).
Calle Betis: Triana's riverside street facing the city centre. We found no official page on it; we give no details on hours or facilities.
Capilla de los Marineros (Calle Pureza 53): chapel free, museum €4; Triana's corrales de vecinos (courtyard houses): private, not all open to visitors, can be seen from outside (Visita Sevilla, October 2023).

Santa Cruz: the Jewish quarter, Plaza de Santa Cruz and Callejón del Agua

According to Andalusia Tourism's Santa Cruz route (Junta de Andalucía, undated):

Jewish quarter: the area took shape after Fernando III conquered Seville in 1248 and became the second-largest Jewish community in Spain, after Toledo. It declined after the Jews were expelled in 1483 and recovered in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when Calle Mateos Gago was opened.
Plaza de Santa Cruz: in the centre stands the Cruz de la Cerrajería, made by Sebastián Conde of Almonte.
Callejón del Agua: one of the city's most romantic corners according to the route, which recommends walking it slowly.
Plaza de Doña Elvira: reached via Calle Pimienta and Calle Susona; one of Seville's best-known open-air theatres (corrales de comedias) once stood here.
The open-air sights need no ticket; the quarter is very busy in high season, and going early helps.

Santa Cruz: Hospital de los Venerables

According to Visita Sevilla:

History: founded in 1675 by Justino de Neve as a residence for elderly priests, designed by Leonardo de Figueroa; the church has frescoes by Valdés Leal and Lucas Valdés. It is the headquarters of the Focus Foundation and houses the Velázquez Centre, opened after the Santa Rufina was acquired in 2007.
Address: Plaza de los Venerables 8.
Opening hours (official sheet, October 2023): Monday to Saturday 10:00-19:00, Sunday 10:00-15:00; last entry 1 hour before closing; in summer, check the website.
Tickets (2023): general €12, reduced €10, guided tour €15. Free for under-12s, people with a disability above 60% and on Mondays 15:00-19:00 with online booking.
2026 hours and prices: not confirmed (the Focus Foundation website did not come up in our search). There are 90-minute night visits on certain days run by a private company (Visita Sevilla, April 2025); price not confirmed.

Santa Cruz: Murillo Gardens

According to the City Council Planning Department's "Parks and gardens" cycle route (undated, after 2012):

They lie next to the Alcázar gardens and were once part of its orchard; King Alfonso XIII handed them over to the city in 1911.
Municipal architect Juan Talavera laid out the paths and roundabouts; in 1918 it was proposed to name them after the painter Murillo, who lived in the Santa Cruz quarter.
On the quarter's side, a tower and stretches of wall survive, with the channel that carried water from the Caños de Carmona to the Alcázar.
Opening hours in 2026: not confirmed.

Where to stay for your kind of trip

General guidance (no properties named):

First visit or short trip: Santa Cruz puts the Alcázar and the Cathedral within walking distance, but its lanes are narrow, very busy by day and have limited car access; ask your accommodation how to arrive with luggage.
Neighbourhood feel, tapas and riverside walks: Triana, across the Isabel II bridge, with the market and Calle Betis.
Families or longer stays: ask about apartments with a kitchen and the walking distance to the sights you want to see.
In summer, check the room has air conditioning; and in both areas, ask about night-time noise if you are a light sleeper.

If you run a property in Triana or the Santa Cruz quarter

What travellers typically ask AI assistants:

How many minutes' walk it is to the Alcázar, the Cathedral or Triana Market.
Whether a taxi can reach the door and where to park.
Whether San Jorge Castle, the Venerables or Centro Cerámica Triana are open on the day and what they cost.
Keeping this clear and up to date on your website and listings avoids wrong answers.
