I agree with those who think far more could have been done by way of exhibition. This is the obvious place to fully explain the Spanish conquest of South America - all we really saw was a lovely old Renaissance building.

We were excited to come here but it was a bit of a let down. There wasn't much to see besides some paintings and a few cases of artifacts. Also you can only access the documents if you are a student in Seville. We wanted...More
There since the sixteenth century, the archive of indies is in fact an archive. You can and should visit it to see the building. They always offer some kind of exhibition worth seeing. The visit will not take more than one hour.

I don't know if it was because we were there on the weekend or if it was just an off week. But when we went there was nothing on display. However it is free and I hear that the exhibits are really nice. So I...More
Free Admission to this Museum; if you need a breather, stop inside to take a look. There is a beautiful open courtyard inside where we took a few pictures. There is a nice exhibit upstairs. Stroller friendly and very quiet especially in the morning. Everyone...More
This was my first time going through the Archivo. There were some interesting artifacts: maps, models and log books, from the journeys to the Americas. There was a local school group there so it was interesting to hear the teacher explain several of the items....More
