How we ground every narration

Every stop traces back to primary archaeological and heritage records. Not AI-generated guesses. Here's how each narration gets built.

  1. 1

    Multi-source aggregation

    Each stop pulls from OpenStreetMap (the open mapping database used by Apple Maps and Tesla), Wikidata (the peer-reviewed structured-data project), the heritage authority below, and primary historical texts where they exist.

  2. 2

    Authority validation

    Cross-referenced against Instituto Andaluz del Patrimonio Histórico (IAPH) · Andalusian heritage institute.

  3. 3

    Fact-check pass

    Every sentence is checked against the verified sources above. Anything that can't be supported gets cut.

Highlights

Sites that define Seville

Seville Cathedral
1401-1506

The world's largest Gothic cathedral, built by men who declared they wanted to be thought mad. Columbus's tomb is carried by four bronze kings.

Giralda Tower
1198 minaret

An Almohad minaret with 35 ramps wide enough for a horse. The same sebka brickwork pattern as the Koutoubia in Marrakech.

Real Alcázar
14th century Mudéjar

The oldest active royal palace in Europe. Islamic art at its finest, built not for a caliph but for a medieval Christian king.

Plaza de España
1928

A 170-metre semicircle with 48 tiled alcoves, each representing a Spanish province. Built for the 1929 Exposition.

Casa de Pilatos
1483-1571

A palace whose builder measured the distance from Pilate's house in Jerusalem and replicated the Via Crucis in Seville.

Barrio Santa Cruz
Medieval

The former Jewish quarter — a labyrinth of whitewashed lanes designed to create shade and channel breezes.

Common Questions

How it works

It’s not just GPS — what are the ways to trigger a narration?

Three ways, all built in:

  • GPS-triggered (default): walk near a site, the narration starts automatically.
  • Tap any marker on the map: open the map view, tap any of the 20 markers to play that narration on demand — no walking required.
  • Queue controls: pause, skip, replay any narration; the queue auto-advances as you walk.

The map-tap option means you can stand anywhere — even at home before you travel — and play any narration. GPS just makes it hands-free while you’re actually walking the site.

Do I need cell service or data while I’m there?

No. Use the “Download for offline” button before you go, and the entire tour — audio, maps, narration text — works without any data connection. Tap-to-play and the map both work fully offline. GPS itself doesn’t need data; only the download does.

What if my phone’s GPS is unreliable?

Two backstops. First, the map shows every site — just tap the marker for the place in front of you. Second, you can manually queue any narration even when GPS is off. The platform never assumes GPS works; it’s the convenience layer, not the gate.

How long is the tour and how much time do I need?

The audio runs ~2.5 hours total, but you walk at your own pace. 20 narration points across the site. Most visitors take 2–4 hours; some spread it over multiple visits. Your access lasts 30 days from purchase, so revisit as often as you like.

Can I share with my partner or family?

One purchase covers one device session. Most couples share earbuds and use a single phone — the audio is paced for that. If you want everyone listening on their own device, each person needs their own purchase. We do not gate sharing aggressively; we trust visitors to do the right thing.

What if I never use the tour, or never make it to the site?

Full refund if you never trigger a single narration on-site. Partial refund based on how far you got. See the refund policy for specifics.
