Foro de la Biodiversidad
Foro de la Biodiversidad brings environmental science into Seville’s Reales Alcázares, combining public learning with living views of nature. High-definition screens fill the Sala de los Continentes with photographs of natural and cultural diversity. An additional exhibition hall presents panels, paintings, and other physical objects beside the digital displays.
Created jointly by CSIC and Fundación Biodiversidad, the venue opened in June 2009 for education, debate, and biodiversity awareness. Live cameras connect you with Doñana and the Iberian lynx breeding centre at El Acebuche. Film forums, presentations, meetings, and Aula del Mar workshops bring conservation questions into shared discussion. Jane Goodall and the chimpanzees of Gombe have also featured in exhibitions about research, behaviour, and protection.
The building dates from 1876 and stands on a wall with roughly a thousand years of continuous human settlement. Archaeology traces Emirate, Caliphate, Almoravid, Almohad, and late-medieval Castilian presence here. At the entrance, the original gate of Seville’s Alcázar links today’s biodiversity work with the site’s layered past.

The myTuur app is free, and once you are standing at a spot its story starts by itself.
Spots like this one are the stops myTuur strings into tours through Seville. In the app, each story begins where you stand: walk up to a spot and it starts, read it on screen or listen as you go, then follow the route to the next one.
What is myTuur?
myTuur is a free city-guide app. Its tours are built from spots, and each spot carries a story that starts when you get there, to read or to listen to as you like.
