Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Calle Susona is called after Susana Ben Susón, the lady of the the house where the Jews met at the end of the 15th century to mount a rebellion against the Christians in Seville.
It's now a pittoresque street in a charming part of Sevilla.

If you are in Agua street (the street in the Santa Cruz neighborhood by the Alcazar wall) and 20 meters before you turn into Vida street, you will see an arch. Go through it.
Or, if you are in Agua street, turn right into Pimienta street, and left into Susona street (which was in the past known as Death street).
By both paths you will arrive at a nice and calm Patio, a hidden gem of the Santa Cruz neighborhood. When you are there look for a tile with a skull drawing.
In this patio stood in the past the house of Don Diego Suson. He was one of the leaders of a Jewish conspiracy in 1480 to destabilize the government. Their acts were in response to the horrible treatment of Jews in Spain since the great pogroms of 1391. Don Diego had a daughter, Susana Ben Suson. She was deeply in love with a christian man. She reported everything, all the plot, she heard at home to her lover, and he reported to the authorities. All the leaders were imprisoned and killed, included Susona's father and other relatives. She realized eventually she was a major traitor to the Jewish community. She asked that, when she died, her head was exposed in front of the house of her father forever, as a sign of remembrance of her treason. It was done. Eventually the head became a skull, and later the skull was replaced by a tile, always renewed through the centuries. The place is still the same: the patio where Susona street ends.
It is an indispensable visit if you want to know more about Jewish life in medieval Seville.

A nice street with shops. The story in ancient times is fun, but not suitable for small children. I don't care much for buildings and streets

Luis Buñuel famously said that in his Spanish home town the Middle Ages lasted until the beginning of World War I. Apparent they’ve lasted a century longer than that in Sevilla. The fact that this grotesque medieval antisemitic fairy tale lives on in Sevilla unashamedly to this day, promoted as some kind of kitsch tourist attraction no less, should be a source of shame to the city.
