Sumario:[EN] The opening of the Tablada Cut, also known as the Alfonso XIII Canal (1909-1926), was one of the most significant hydraulic engineering projects undertaken on the Guadalquivir River and marked a turning point in the transformation of the Port of Seville during the first third of the 20th century. While the evolution of Seville's docks has been addressed in general studies on Guadalquivir navigation and the city's urban history, the construction of this particular project has received less attention from the perspective of the history of construction and port engineering. The main objective of this work is to analyze the design and construction of this cut as a key element in the modernization process of the Port of Seville, now that one hundred years have passed since its inauguration. Specifically, the study examines the technical and economic context of the improvement plan promoted by Luis Moliní, the construction characteristics of the project, and its impact on the spatial reorganization of the port facilities. The study is based on the analysis of primary sources preserved in the Historical Archive of the Port Authority of Seville.
