Setas de Sevilla

A tour of Seville with virtual reality headsets that place visitors in different stages of the city's history, from Roman Hispalis to the 21st century.

This permanent collection exhibition invites visitors to explore Seville's past through virtual reality headsets. Visitors move between eight points situated beside monuments and other spaces in the city. At each one, they put on the headset and see how the surroundings in front of them take on the appearance of an earlier era.

The stages range from Roman Hispalis and Almohad Isbiliya to the Seville of Cervantes, the Seville of Murillo and the city today. According to the proposal, the buildings regain their former splendour, the clothing changes to suit each period and 21st-century elements disappear from the image.

The format combines a walk through the streets with digital visualisation, so that each historical scene is contrasted with the real place. It is designed for anyone who wants to learn about Seville's history by seeing it on the ground, on a route structured around the eight marked points.
