The celebration of Holy Week this year after two years of pandemic has contributed to the fact that the Real Alcázar has harvested in April the best number of visitors since October 2019. Last month, the palace complex, which is now commemorating 90 years After being transferred to the Seville City Council , it received 183,122 people . To find similar data, you have to go back to the month of October 2019 , when 184,873 visitors were counted. In 2019, Holy Week also fell in April and both in that month and in May (Seville Fair), the Alcázar broke records, with 214,396 and 223,603 visitors, respectively.
According to the data provided by the City Council to Europa Press, in the first four months of this year, 483,784 people have visited the palace complex and the forecast is to close 2022 with 1.4 million visits .
A figure that corroborates the confidence in the recovery of tourism in the city, since the forecasts far exceed the 797,008 visitors in 2021 and the 513,298 in 2020, the latter year in which the state of alarm was decreed.
