The winters are mild with January the coolest month and the summers are very warm with temperatures often exceeding 40 degrees. Seville is a very old city, with its history dating back more than 2 thousand years. Having been under Roman rule for a considerable period, the city was taken by the Moors in 712 and it became an important Muslim centre of Andalusia. The city remained under Spanish rule under 1248 when it fell to Fernando III. During the Spanish Civil War, the city fell to General Franco’s troops in 1936 due to its proximity to Morocco and the invasion force that came from there. Today the city is a hotbed of culture, elegance and tradition and is why many people choose to come to the language schools in Seville.
