History
In 1945 the Avenida de la Republica Argentina was built and was to become, in the next two decades, the district's main artery into the centre of Seville. The avenue runs like a dividing line between Triana and Los Remedios, ending at Plaza de Cuba, where the Puente San Telmo carries traffic over to Puerta de Jerez on the other side of the Guadalquivir.
In the 1960s a large-scale urbanization took place, and the new residential construction led to the city's first planned neighbourhood. It is overwhelmingly residential in character, and when it was built it attracted many upper-middle class residents. Today the main commercial thoroughfares are the Avenida de la Republica Argentina and Calle Asuncion.
