Who Built the Walls of Seville?
Legend has it that Hercules founded the city of Seville as a trading post, hence the
Alameda de Hércules , a garden mall pedestrian area now known for its buzzing night scene. Under the rule of the Romans, the city was known as
Hispal, and later
Hispalsis, and it morphed into an important market metropolis. During the time of Julius Caesar , the city was surrounded by walls sometime in the 60s BC. These Roman defensive walls replaced the existing stockades from previous eras. Under his adoptive son Augustus, these walls were expanded as the city continued to grow.
