The Spanish Royal Court made official visits to the city of Sevilla every four years. These lavish celebratory events included pageants, tournaments, bull fights, parades, and more. The plates depict vast gatherings of people on foot and horseback, all carefully identified in the legend, the city laid out in meticulous detail in the background.
