Major sights in the city include the provincial museum, the Museo de Huelva, which has an excellent archaeological section. The British mining Río Tinto Company had a big impact on Huelva's 19th-century architecture, as seen in the long Muelle de Ríotinto, snaking out into the Odiel estuary, and the curious Victorian Barrio Obrero.

The most well-known church in Huelva is the Sanctuario de Nuestra Señora de la Cinta, where Columbus is said to have prayed before setting sail to the New World. The Catedral de la Merced and the Iglesia de San Pedro are among the other churches worth visiting.
