Andalucia Experiencias

Tour-Übersicht

The visit starts at 11:00 am at the Puerta Tierra, located in the Americo Vespuccio Avenue. Your guide will start in the orchards and gardens, covering different areas and buildings in the area. An ideal place for a photography lover's tour.

Then you will move into the monastery, now transformed into the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporaneo and where the different rooms of the monastery become showrooms. The majestic Chapter house with the crypts of the promoters of the monastery. The main cloister with the typical "chimneys" that for years became the famous earthenware factory of Seville, "La Cartuja".

In its six centuries of experience, the Cartuja Monastery has known moments of great splendor and others of severe crisis. Its geographical location, along the Guadalquivir River, has made it fall victim to numerous floods. The Carthusian community has offered protection and enrichment, particularly to the Sevillian families Mena, Ribera, and Veraguas.

It was at the Cartuja Monastery where the remains of Christopher Columbus were deposited for thirty years. As the admiral was a fervent visitor of the Monastery, it was here that he prepared his second voyage to the Americas.
