Osuna its stunning!




Osuna, the city-museum that also host some scenes from the 5th season of Game of Thrones!

Osuna is an ancient city in Seville, with an exquisite historical, artistic and cultural heritage, and its landscapes are surrounded by beautiful gardens and natural wealth.

Being at the heart of Andalusia and with all these hallmarks, Osuna is the ideal destination for many travelers. One of the first places they should go is the acropolis, which is the set of ducal buildings on top of the hill and then they could visit the main square and its streets dotted of palaces and churches to the coattails of the new city and the suburbs looking to the countryside



And if you are still not convinced (or you, for some reason, hate game of thrones) to pay a visit to this magical place of rich culture and history, let me tell you about other great things to visit once you get to Osuna. The “Colegiata de Santa María de la asunción” is a Catholic temple built in XV-XVI , the exterior of the temple strikes the visitor by its severity. Famous by its extensive collection of art by José de Ribera.

The old university of Osuna it’s one of the more significative examples of Spanish culture, both for its peculiar physiognomy and by the extensive teaching of his long career, from 1548, date of its construction, until its closure in 1984.

And don’t forget about the Game of Thrones thing. If you wish, in Osuna’s Museum, you can get the official merchandise of Game of Thrones.

When should you visit Osuna? The best time probably is in spring because you can enjoy the famous Passion Week of Osuna and the May Fair.

Where to stay.
