It is the most visited and popular neighborhood in Seville, known for its typical narrow streets, unique houses, Sevillian patios, squares surrounded by orange trees, and for all the charm and legends that surround it.
- Placentines Street is one of the characteristic streets of the Santa Cruz neighborhood, featuring a slightly curved layout, irregular width, and some very narrow sections. From it, you can admire the splendid height of the Giralda. It is just over a five-minute walk from our accommodations.
- Plaza de la Alianza, where Rodrigo Caro and Joaquín Romero Murube Streets meet. Since the 16th century, it was known as Plaza del Pozo Seco, referring to the well that once stood here. Its current name dates from 1868, after a textile factory that was located in the square. The Arquillo del Sacramento separated it from Rodrigo Caro Street.

The building was built on the site that was left after the demolition of the old mosque in Seville, whose minaret (the Giralda ) and patio (Patio de los Naranjos) are still preserved.
