There are Seville landmarks that are on everyone's list, but there are others that you might not know as much about.

Three days in Seville is enough to see all the main attractions. You can spend the first two days sightseeing the famous monuments and the last day wandering around the city. If you have an extra day or two, I recommend going on day trips to Cordoba, Granada, or other nearby towns.

In our opinion, Granada is the better choice if you only have a day or two! After all, it's simply not possible to see everything Seville has to offer in such a short amount of time. However, Seville is definitely worth visiting if you have three days or more.
You then need to factor in the day trips you would like to make, such as Toledo, Segovia or Cuenca, and add nights accordingly.

Seville is one of Spain's most popular destinations, home to some of the country's famed traditions like flamenco and bullfighting.

Seville is a smaller, more traditionally Spanish city. It has some of the finest Moorish architecture in Spain, and is known for its traditional flamenco music and dance.
If your day is short due to the traveling time from Madrid, I would go for Cordoba. There is so much to see in Seville that unless your trains are early / late you will miss a lot of it. The old part of Cordoba (Mezquita, alcazabar, Jewish Quarter) is comfortably seen in a day. I agree with stumblebum.
