Seville: A Spanish City, Not a Border Nation

A common geographical misconception places Seville on an international border. In reality, Seville is the capital of the Andalusia region in southern Spain. It is an inland city, located on the Guadalquivir River, and is entirely surrounded by Spanish territory. It does not share a border with any other country.

Its strategic river location historically made it a vital port for trade with the Americas, but politically and geographically, it sits firmly within the Spanish nation.
