The Tobacco Factory of Seville was constructed between 1728 and 1771 by Sebastián Van der Bocht. Over the main entrance, the triangular facade ends in a statue of La Fama (fame).


Main entrance to Seville University


The tobacco factory was then the largest industrial building in Spain. A monopoly assured high income, which is reflected in the factory's architecture and surrounding Gardens. Its chapel and prison complement the main building.


University Gardens


In the interior you find impressive stairways, fountains and Patios.
In 1953 the factory has been converted into the main building of Seville University.
