In this video, we trace the remnants of Seville's Islamic heritage that are still visible today—hidden in plain sight. We walk through the historic streets to find the original Mezquita de Isbiliya and visit the famous Seville Cathedral (once the city’s grand mosque), where we reveal why the cathedral floor still aligns with the Qibla. We also climb the Giralda Tower to see the incredible architecture of the original minaret. Next, we step inside the breathtaking Royal Alcázar to explore its "Garden of Paradise" layout, which was directly inspired by descriptions of Jannah in the Quran, complete with flowing water and four sectors representing the four rivers of paradise. Finally, we look at modern Muslim life in Seville today, visiting the central Seville Mosque Foundation to talk about what it’s like for the 30,000 Muslims living in the city. Plus, I share my ultimate halal travel tips, including where to find the best halal tapas at Tanto Monto, a budget kebab spot, and where to stay on a budget!
