What can I do in Seville in one (full) day ?
I am more interested in historical buildings / architechture / walking around / good sights - and not much in museums. I will be there from 8-9 AM till 10 PM (I will be there on my way back from Barcelona to London). I will be with my wife and my 18 month old son. Any suggestions are welcome. Cheers

Catedral de Seville
Pronouneciation in Spanish: Sevilla (Don’t say “la” it’s “ya” at the end).
It’s very ornate and gothic (largest gothic cathedral in Europe and 3rd largest cathedral in Europe), here lies Christopher Columbus tomb which is highly publicized for the authenticity of Christopher Columbus tomb located inside the cathedral.

Don’t forget La Giralda (Almohad Minarets) which converted into a Bell Tower. Entrance is located inside the cathedral.
Plaza de Espana
The pride of the city. Take a nice stroll along the plaza , enjoy the monumental building mixture of many architecture past, including Renaissance and Gothic. Don’t forget to rent a boat which takes you around the moat.
Alcázar of Seville
This is a royal palace with Moorish history comes with several sections including Patio de las Doncellas "The Courtyard of the Maidens." and many more sections to visit within the palace ground.

Seville is very beautiful. Congrats on deciding to stop there! You need to go see the cathedral and the area surrounding it. It is all very beautiful. It is right by the university. You will also be very near the river and you can see a lot of great spanish architecture there. Also, You need to see the Plaza of the Americas. It's really beautiful too, and is very near the main bus station(across the street, basically. You can also see the Macarena (the statue of the virgin Mary from the famous song) nearby. Good luck!
For a start you can stroll your son in his pram up the Giralda tower and get a great view of the city. It is a ramp all the way up. Then walk around the Barrio Santa Cruz which is very close. Lots of little places to eat--charming. Then the royal gardens and maybe the palace. There is a bull ring, which might interest you to see. Lots of interesting churches. A great city for walking--we did a two week language school there and loved it.
The city of Seville may be the fourth largest in Spain, but it is a place where you can see open countryside from the city centre, and even pick the legendary Seville oranges from trees for more details see http://www.spain4uk.co.uk/places/seville.
