Triana neighbourhood

Seville Triana MapTriana is just over the Guadalquivir River, though by crossing you find yourself in an area quite unlike any other in the city. Locals when asked where they are from will always say Triana rather than Seville, and they are fiercely proud of their neighbourhood.

Historically the area was associated with Sailors, and the Capilla de los Marineros - or Sailors Chapel - houses the image of Our Lady of Hope, popularly known as Esperanza de Triana, one of Seville's most important religious icons.

Flamenco, ceramics and pottery have traditionally played an important part here, and this is still true today. There are many small Flamenco tablaos - or bars with live performances - and schools in the area. Calle Alfarería - which translates as Pottery Street - is lined with ceramicist and potters' workshops and showrooms.
