ANDALUSIA DAY

Read the text and do the activity below.

The capital city of Andalusia

Seville is Andalusia's administrative centre. Seville is full of splendid churches, convents, monuments and Moorish buildings. It's also famous for its tapas bars and its nightlife.
The  Gothic Catedral  with its famous minaret, the Giralda, is one of Europe's biggest cathedrals. Close to Seville is Italica, one of the Roman Empire's most important cities, with its mosaics and huge amphitheatre.
 

Farmland to the east, Carmona

Carmona is a picturesque, small town with a magnificent 15th century tower built in imitation of Seville's Giralda. Carmona shares a similar history to Seville, and was an important Roman city. Later Pedro the Cruel built a palace within its castle which he used as his royal residence in the country.

At the entrance to the town is the Puerta de Sevilla a ruinous fortified gateway which leads to the historic old part of the city. Within the wall, you can find narrow streets with Mudejar churches and Renaissance mansions. The Plaza San Fernando is small but full of splendid Moorish buildings. Santa Maria is a Gothic church built over the former main mosque. The massive ruins of Pedro's palace were destroyed by an earthquake in 1504 and are now  replaced by a parador.
The Roman necropolis lies on a low hill at the opposite end of Carmona amid cypress trees and contains more than nine hundred family tombs dating from the second century BC to the fourth century AD. Some of the tombs have vestibules with stone benches for funeral banquets. Opposite is an ampitheatre. Carmona is a fascinating town and well worth a visit.


Say if these statements are true or false.
1______Seville is only known for its monuments.
2______The cathedral retains an important Moorish element.
3______Italica was a city at the times of the Roman Empire.
4______Carmona´s tower looks like Seville´s Giralda.
5______Carmona didn´t exist at the times of the Romans.
6______Pedro the Cruel built the palace but never lived there.
7______There are only Gothic monuments in the old part of the city.
8______Santa María church was built over a mosque.
9______Pedro´s palace was destroyed by his enemies in the 16th century.
10_____Now that palace is a parador.
11_____Inside the tombs of the necropolis, the Romans used to celebrate banquets.
