Seville's Cathedral is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. Among the many Spanish cathedrals, the Seville cathedral is a true national treasure. The cathedral was built over the space where the Aljama Mosque once stood, destroyed when the city was re-conquered by the Christians.
The huge interior of the cathedral, with a central nave and four side aisles, is lavishly decorated but preserves a sense of overall simplicity. This cathedral is home to the largest altarpiece in the world. The side walls of the Seville cathedral are lined with chapels dedicated to the many saints and other important figures in the history of the cathedral. It is also noteworthy to mention the cathedral's magnificent and priceless collection of beautiful stained-glass windows.
Another highlight of this visit is the entrance to the exquisite Moorish minaret, `La Giralda´, which now serves as the cathedral's bell tower. It is well worth climbing to the top for the breathtaking view of the city. You cannot miss the opportunity to walk through this Sevillian historical and cultural tour, escape the queues, and learn the secrets of these magnificent places!
