  There are several theories about Triana, its origin and the origins of its name. Among the strongest candidates is the one that argues that it comes from Roman times, and is an allusion to the emperor Trajan.

  The origins of the Triana neighborhood date back to the foundation of Seville by the Phoenician merchant Melkart, who would be renamed Hercules.

  To get there, we will cross the Isabel II Bridge. Also known as the Triana Bridge, the Isabel II Bridge is the border of the two shores, of 'the two Seville', of two unique worlds. An endearing place that preserves the bohemian spirit of yesteryear, it is one of the favorite neighborhoods of many Sevillians.

  Cradle of gypsy culture in Seville, the neighborhood has its own identity. A different atmosphere from the other neighborhood of the old town, the beautiful Barrio de Santa Cruz.

  This neighborhood is just a stone's throw from the famous Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla, where bullfighters from all over the world gather to fight. Other activities visitors can enjoy in the neighborhood include a visit to "La Macarena", a well-known statue of the Virgin Mary, and visits to the nearby ceramics factory.

  Triana does not have the great monuments that we can find in the rest of Seville, such as the Alcazar, the Cathedral, the Plaza de España... the charm of Triana is its people. Trianeros are very particular and very proud people, in fact half jokingly half seriously they say that they are not really from Seville, but they are inhabitants of the Independent Republic of Triana.

  There is always a lot of activity in Triana, unusual characters, locals in love with their houses, their neighborhoods, flamingos on the corner of the streets and the eternal Triana Market located in the ruins of the old Castillo de San Jorge whose fruity aromas await a basket.

  Known for this different atmosphere, a place where the memory of the artists is noted. Cradle of bullfighters and flamencos, where the otherness is lived. It is a place of mixture and heterodoxy since people from all over the world come to Seville. It is not a monumental place, its essence comes from the people, who in this place found the opportunity to live in their own way.

  Triana is undoubtedly one of the most touristic neighborhoods, but it is a great place to visit and see the different types of crafts and architecture that are a perfect imprint of Seville's past.

  The Triana neighborhood has always been appreciated

  The artist/writer Richard Ford, for example, was one of those folklore-mad romantics who visited Seville in the 19th century, a man who, because of his rich and cultured condition, had an unstoppable curiosity to know the entrails of the place where he had lived. He lived in Seville and was amazed at how little attention was paid to flamenco in Spain, and that the public was much more attentive to foreign artists in search of modernity than to the dancing and singing of Sevillian music. He also said that the women of Seville were always ready to prepare a "función", as these shows were called, which were paid parties held in the Triana neighborhood, where bullfighters, smugglers, pilletes and gypsies gathered, whose wives were the main dancers in these shows.

  3 famous streets in the Triana neighborhood

  The famous Triana neighborhood is well known for its alleys, its little corners but three of them stand out for their fame, another reason why you can not miss a walk through this neighborhood so characteristic.

  Betis Street

  This street is possibly the most portrayed of the Triana neighborhood. Framed between the Isabel II Bridge -the famous Triana Bridge- and the San Telmo Bridge, it is one of the streets you cannot miss.

  San Jacinto Street

  San Jacinto Street crosses a large part of the Triana neighborhood and can be said to be one of its main arteries. It is accessed after crossing the Isabel II bridge and formerly linked the area with the Aljarafe of Seville.

  Paseo de Nuestra Señora de la O

  The Paseo de la O runs along the river from the Isabel II Bridge to the Cristo de la Expiración Bridge. With these 3 streets you can learn a little more about the beautiful neighborhood of Triana and enjoy its popular culture and history. You will find all types of accommodations, from tourist apartments to 4 star hotels in the heart of Triana.

  Brotherhood of the Hope of Triana

  Our guide will also tell you about one of the most famous places in the Triana neighborhood: the Hermandad de la Esperanza de Triana. The Hermandad de la Esperanza de Triana The Hermandad de la Esperanza de Triana is a catholic brotherhood that was founded in 1856. They are known for their charitable work.

  The Hermandad de la Esperanza de Triana was born as a humanitarian association that helped the poor and needy, especially the illiterate who could not read. The members made no distinction between Christians or non-Christians. They also provided basic education to the neighborhood children, including teaching them to read and write. Eventually, they established a hospital where they cared for the sick and elderly poor in the center of the city.

  The Hermandad de la Esperanza was well known for its good work until it was forced to close due to the Spanish government's suspicion of its activities during the Civil War (1936-39). After Franco's victory over the Republicans.

  The brothers work as counselors and psychologists for those suffering from addictions, depression and other mental illnesses. They also provide pastoral care to those who have lost loved ones or are suffering from loneliness. The Sisters of Charity who run the hospital of San Sebastian have been using the services of this sisterhood since 1824.

  Where is the Triana neighborhood?

  Triana is one of the best known neighborhoods in Seville. It is located near the Guadalquivir River. Historically, the Triana neighborhood was the center of the arts such as flamenco, dance and known as the bohemian neighborhood.

  What divides Seville from Triana?

  Triana is located on the eastern bank of the Guadalquivir River and is separated from the ancient city walls by the river dock that runs along its historic course. The neighborhood is connected to the center of Seville by the Triana Bridge, the San Telmo Bridge and the Cristo de la Expiración Bridge.

  When was the Triana Bridge built?

  It was built between 1845 and 1852 by the French engineers Gustave Steinacher and Ferdinand Bennetot. The construction of the bridge as we know it replaced the Pont des Barques. For the design, the engineers were largely inspired by the Carousel Bridge, which, unfortunately, would disappear years later.
