City plans and information about what to see. It will also be an opportunity to enter this Casa Colón, partly occupied by Huelva town hall and take a walk in the gardens. It is a building that was the hotel and the headquarters of the former mining company laden of the Riotinto.

Built in a baroque style in the th century on an ancient mudéjare mosque in front of the shaded square. It is surrounded by colonial buildings.

About 2 km north of the historic center (city bus # 6), this white chapel houses a lovely painting representing the Virgin, patron of the city; it also presents earthenware (made by Daniel Zuloaga) directing Christopher Columbus' visit to the sanctuary, as well as muobar portals. From there, the view of the city, the Odiel and its swamps is impregnable. We'll also love to walk in his beautiful gardens.

It contains two main sections: archeology on the ground floor and fine arts on the first floor. The first is mainly devoted to the tartessional and Roman eras, which are very much provided thanks to the region's rich past in this area. It includes objects from the necropolis «La Joya», one of the largest ensembles of lavish art in Andalusian protohistory, considered as the most important of the Mediterranean region. Other discoveries during the visit: objects of Phoenician and Greek origin discovered in Huelva. Museum very didactic over these periods, excavations and evolution of tools and practices. On the first floor, the Fine Arts section houses a fund from xiiith to twentieth century and temporary exhibitions.

The current cathedral (from the th century) was first part of the Merced convent. Classified as a national monument in 1970, with a remarkable façade, it is also one of the seats of the University of Huelva, part of the same harmonious building.

Built in 1872 by George Bruce, inspired by Gustave Eiffel, this former copper transport terminal bears witness to this past activity and constitutes a beautiful viewpoint on the river. On foot, for the bravest and by bike for the others, or by car, you can follow this bank of the Odiel to the tip of Sebo. Where the two rivers El Tinto and El Odiel meet. All will meet there a monument built in 1929, dedicated to the Fe descubridora and which represents the monk of Rabida who helped Columbus in the development of his first trip.
