Where to stay in Triana
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
The arrabal was never Seville. Triana keeps its rooms on the west bank of the Guadalquivir, with the water between them and the rest of the city, and the separation is old enough to have carried its own name. Los Remedios sits to the south, La Cartuja to the north, and both are usually counted into the same district when rooms are listed. That makes the choice a bank, not a street.

About Triana
What are the main landmarks in Triana?
The register credits Triana with no listed monument of its own. What it has instead is the water: two branches of the Guadalquivir, and the narrow neck of land at the north that keeps the quarter attached to the rest of Seville rather than floating free of it. La Cartuja lies past that neck.
Los Remedios closes the peninsula on the southern side, and the three together make up the administrative district that carries the name Triana.
What is the history of Triana?
The record on Triana is short. Its history is the history of a quarter kept apart, an arrabal across the Guadalquivir that the city treated as adjacent rather than internal, and the label outlasted the boundary that eventually absorbed it. Other neighbourhoods of Seville separated the same way carried the same word.
Los Remedios and La Cartuja are usually counted into the same area, which is why the name Triana covers more ground than the old arrabal did.
Where is Triana?
Two branches of the Guadalquivir enclose Triana as a peninsula, tied to the mainland at the north, with La Cartuja that way and Los Remedios to the south.
