Seville’s Archiepiscopate has announced its project of restoration of the northern facade of the Cathedral. This would be an expensive project in order to avoid the humidities of this side of the Cathedral placed on Alemanes’ street with some important places like “Lagarto’s Door”, “Absolution’s Door” or “Patio de los Naranjos”.

The Absolution’s Door is a vestige of the old almohade mosque, over which the catholic Cathedral was built.

Depeche Mode’s concert has been cancelled

Depeche Mode’s concert has been cancelled. The concert for next Sunday 12th July has been cancelled due to a muscular injury of Dave Graham, the singer, that makes him to rest at least during ten days.
Dave Graham suffered a break in the twin muscle during the concert that took place in Bilbao yesterday. This makes that Depeche Mode could not act in Seville and Oporto (Portugal). There is no problem for the rest of the concerts of their world tour: TOUR OF THE UNIVERSE.
Depeche Mode has sold out all the tickets for the concert in Seville (the stage had begun to be mounted since last Wednesday) and the tickets would be refunded from next 15th July.
The british band, integrated by Dave Graham, Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher, is considered one of the most influent band in electronic music from the last twenty-five years, with one of the best shows in the world and more than 75 million of long plays and cds sold.

Seville was born in “Patio de Banderas”

The archeological excavations have identified the eldest human vestiges in Seville: rests of a kitchen from the first half of 8th century before Christ, just at the end of Bronze’s Age. These traces have been found five metres depth.

The archeologists have also found walls of a building of the roman period. It would be a “great importance” building because of the scale of the foundations with a height of three metres, for which the roman architects used the technic of “Opus Africanus”, as it could be proved in the excavations.

This building could be related with the fluvial port of the old Hispalis.
