Situated in front of the Archeological Museum, it is the former Pavillon of the Ancient Art during the Iberoamerican Exposition of 1929. In its numerous rooms, such things as ancient and traditional andalucian dresses can be found (but not tried ladies and gentlemen), items that were used for agricultural work, or galleries that recreate the bedrooms of the farmers or townspeople during the XIX century. It holds a collection of Andalusian popular ceramics that is rivaled, only b the collection at the Museum of Ethnology, Hamburg.

6. Naval Museum of Seville

This museum is located inside of the Golden Tower, its function  nowadays has nothing to see with its previous ones ; it used to be used as chapel, office of the harbour master, prison... The Golden tower is in fact the Everything Tower. Between its items can be seen fossilized remains of marine creatures, ancient marine charts, and historical documents. Last but no least, it spotlights as well a reproduction of the first scientist Mapamundi of the XVI century.

7. Carriage Museum of Seville

Among all the museums of Seville, this is the oddity. It has been inaugurated the 17th of October of 1999 in order to make people know the world of horse carriage. It would surprise you to see how well staged are the carriages in different historical periods. I hasn't always been for turists actually. Moreover, nothing more than to see the convent of the XVI century in which it is located, is worth visiting this unique museum.

8. Navigation Pavilion

A few meters from the Monastery of La Cartuja, we find one of the emblems of the Universal Exhibition of 1992, the Pavilion of Navigation. From here started the journey that circumnavigated the world for the first time, important geographical discoveries were obtained, the trade route was established between three continents... All the more so that this river flowing a few meters from the Pavilion, reaches the Atlantic, hence there are many people who dare to cross its waters by kayak or other watercraft. It is a perfect activity for the whole family, since it's especially made for children.
