Triana

Triana is best known as a historic district of Seville, Spain. Located on the west bank of the Guadalquivir River across from the city center, Triana developed as a distinct urban area during the medieval period and has maintained a strong local identity, especially in relation to crafts and flamenco. The district is connected to central Seville by several bridges, with the Triana Bridge (Puente de Isabel II) being the most famous. Triana is associated with traditional ceramics and tilework, as well as a vibrant riverside culture and nightlife that has long featured flamenco music.

In addition to its geographic significance, Triana refers to a Spanish rock band formed in Seville in the 1970s. The group is noted for blending flamenco, rock, and blues influences and is considered a pioneer of Andalusian rock, contributing to a distinct regional sound in Spain’s late 20th-century music scene.

The name Triana is also used for various other places across the Spanish-speaking world, including municipalities and districts in Spain and Latin America. In these uses, the term typically evokes connections to Andalusian heritage and the cultural associations linked with the Seville district.
