01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Seville city—686,741, Europe/Madrid, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
Wikidata's localized description: human settlement in Seville, Seville Province, Andalusia, Spain.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Seville city is GeoNames ID 2510911. Its recorded administrative path is Provincia de Sevilla → Andalusia → Spain, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Sevilla occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2026-03-23; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Seville city ranks 807 by recorded population. Inside the 6 selected Spain entries it ranks 5; inside the 125 entries in its broad region it ranks 61. Its 686,741 population value is 0.91 times the 755,663 median for the country cohort and 1.03 times the 664,046 regional median. Seville city is rank 5 among the 6 selected Spain entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Seville city's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Seville city's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the wider half of atlas distances. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 2510911, the coordinate pair 37.3828 / 5.9732, country rank 5 of 6, and neighbor GeoNames 2514256 at 156.265 km bind Seville city to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Seville city's reference point is 37.3828° north and 5.9732° west. The IANA identifier Europe/Madrid is shared by 6 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Seville city's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Seville city's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Seville city's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Seville city, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
