Real Fabrica de Tabacos, located next door to Hotel Alfonso XIII,
was built in the 18th century for the production of tobacco products. 
At one point, it was the largest industrial building in all of Europe,
complete with moats, a chapel, a jailhouse, courtyards, and several
fountains.  Today, it is the main building for the University of Sevilla. 
This is a nice place to take a stroll because it is very accessible,
and anyone can walk around the grounds or through the building. 
If it's open, be sure to see the small University Chapel, featuring
the image of Cristo de la Buena Muerte by the famous Sevillian
sculptor Juan de Mesa.  Also, if you get hungry, there are two
cafeterias inside the building that offer food for a cheap price.
