The factory where Bizet's Carmen rolled cigars — now a university campus you can freely explore

Seville's massive former tobacco factory — workplace of Bizet's passionate fictional heroine, Carmen — was built in the 18th century and has the second-largest building footprint in Spain after El Escorial. It's now the buzzing campus of the University of Seville. You can wander in at will on Monday to Friday.
