Los Remedios
Encyclopedia
Los Remedios is a neighborhood of Seville
, located on the Isle of Cartuja, south of the ancient neighborhood of Triana
. It derives its name from a Carmelite convent of the same name found in that area. Before development in the latter half of the 20th Century, this was one of the few standing structures in what is now Los Remedios.
In 1945 the Avenida de la Republica Argentina was built and was to become, in the next two decades, the nascent neighborhoods main artery into the center of Seville. The avenue runs like a dividing line between Triana and Los Remedios, ending at Plaza de Cuba, where the Puente San Telmo carries traffic over to Puerta de Jerez on the other side of the Guadalquivir
.
In the 1960s a large-scale urbanization took place, and the new residential construction lead to the city's first planned neighborhood. It is overwhelmingly residential in character, and when it was built it attracted many an upper-middle class resident. Today the main commercial thoroughfares are the Avenida de la Republica Argentina and Calle Asuncion.
The Recinto Ferial, where Seville's Feria de Abril
is held, is located in Los Remedios, outside its street grid near its southwestern end. A new fairground is being developed, however, in Charco de la Pava in La Cartuja
