The district of Triana lies on the other side of the Guadalquivir river, crossing over the Puente de Isabel II (tourist map Nr.15). Ceramics have been produced here since Roman times. Once home of Christopher Columbus, Triana also became home to the Gypsies until they were expelled in the 60"™s. It is still a great place to catch an unexpected Flamenco performance and just like the district of Macarena, there are many churches to be seen. There are several nice restaurants on the waterfront with great views to Seville. The Guadalquivir river was once named Betis after which the waterfront street is named, as well as the local soccer team. In 1992 Seville was host to the World Expo and built several impressive buildings on this side of the river. Unfortunately it is nowadays a very desolate area and not woth visiting. The tourist bus will drive through here and stops at the Monasterio de Cartuja. Fortunately there is still the amusement park named Isla Magica which is a fantastic and fun place to visit in Summer when it is open.

This ceramic shop was founded 1870 and is the oldest in Triana.
It is worth stopping by here to buy some of the beautifully hand-painted tiles.
