The first tobacco manufacturers were established in Seville. At the time it was built, the factory was the second largest building in Spain, and is situated just outside a gate of the city walls. The location was the site of an Ancient Roman burial ground.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The factory began production in 1758, and is the inspiration of Bizet’s opera Carmen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The building is bordered on 3 sides by dry moats (we walk by them frequently) and is now the headquarters of the University of Seville.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Painting of the interior of the Tobacco Factory in 1911. The factory started out with a male workforce producing cigars and snuff. Since the quality was inferior to other factories that had switched to a female workforce, and males had to be paid more, the factory switched to an entirely female workforce by 1829.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
