Seville


Seville was where Magellan changed his citizenship to that of Spain's from his native Portugal. It was also his starting point for his attempt to become the first person to circumnavigate the globe. Unfortunately, he died on the journey in the Philippines but remnants of his expedition did manage to return to Seville in 1522 laden with the all important spices.
