Notice about unfinished house in Spanish city (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seville

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'spanish city' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'notice about unfinished house in' is the wordplay.
'notice about' becomes 'see' (notice can mean to spot or see. I am not sure about the 'about' bit.).
'unfinished' means to remove the last letter.
'house' becomes 'villa' (villa is a kind of house).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'villa' with its final letter taken away is 'vill'.
'see' enclosing 'vill' is 'SEVILLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seville that I've seen before include "Whence Rossini's barber" , "Spanish tourist centre" , "city taken by Moors" , "Spanish city; orange type" , "Capital of Andalusia" .)
