Meeting Benches World art in all forms
Everyone loves to travel, but not everyone loves to travel the same way. All you have to do is have the time of your life. Meeting Benches. The way to making the world a better place is easy.
This Spanish city of Andalusia – Seville – is known by a special name “the city of grace.” It is waiting for you in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, in a fertile plain on the left bank of the Guadalquivir River, giving you the splendor of its fine Arab and Christian monuments. Under his sky were born Velasquez and Murillo, two painters who have walked in the Plaza del Triunfo. Those men also prayed in his cathedral, built in the late Gothic style on the site of a mosque. You, like those artists, you can see the emblem of Seville – The Giralda, a colossal Arabic minaret – and perhaps listen to the sound of the big bell from 1588 accompanies the life of the city. The Alcazar will certainly be in the gallery of your photographic memories, along with the picturesque Barrio de Santa Cruz.
We encourage you to extend your trip even around the city, coming from Porta de la Macarena, to see the small village of Santiponce (admiring her fortitude and her two Gothic churches), heading northwest to the ruins of an ancient Roman city, where you expect the remains of Italica (home of the emperors Trajan, Hadrian and Theodosius). If you still have a little time and want to observe, you can add to your walk two kilometers to the north west, arriving in Castilleja de Guzman, to give your eyes the wonder of a large Dolman of the Copper Age. You see a dolman underground? Another 4km northwest, up to Valencina de la Concepcion, where you expect the Cueva de Matarrubilla.
Choose a bench where you can publish what you have painted, what you have written, a review of a book that you’ve read, or the story of a journey that you have made. Past and Present are here and now. Our proposal calls any web-traveler to sit into Meeting Benches info@meetingbenches.com to share emotions, observing new creative horizons.
