Real Casa de la Moneda

The Royal Mint is located on a block between Puerta de Jerez, Avenida de la Constitución and Paso de Colón, very close to the port and integrated into the city walls. It was built in 1532 by King Philip II and was the place where the gold and silver that came from the Indies was melted, to then be turned into coins to fund the kingdom's expenses.

In 1868, the Seville Royal Mint was no longer used as such and was divided into plots and sold to several private buyers. These areas were turned into flats, barracks, etc.

The main door, on Calle Adolfo Rodríguez Jurado, built in 1761 by architect and engineer Sebastián Van der Borcht, stands out. It is a small neighbourhood built like a grid, made up of blocks, and when we walk along its cobbled streets we are transported to the Golden Age.
