The famous Barrio de Triana, on the other side of the Guadalquivir River, has its own and distinctive personality. Historically linked to the river, one of its sons, Rodrigo de Triana was the first to see the New World. Juan Sebastián Elcano landed there next to the Convent of Los Remedios upon his return from the first voyage round the world in 1519. Birthplace of famous potters, in the 3rd century AD, Saints Justa and Rufina, from Triana, were the first Sevillian martyrs to be canonised. Traditional Triana, where gypsies and non-gypsies live together harmoniously, where the popular and lively velás are celebrated in August, has Santa Ana as its own "cathedral", presiding over the other churches in the quarter: those dedicated to La Esperanza, La Estrella, La O and El Cachorro. |
