 Cathedral in Sevilla by sue_stone
It is built in a combination of gothic and renaissance styles.
One of the main drawcards is the tomb of the great sailor, Christopher Columbus. Leave a Comment Phone: 95 421 49 71

 Columbus grave - Tumba de
Colón by spanishguy
El monumento a Colón conserva los restos de este descubridor. Su tumba está soportada por cuatro figuras que representan soldados de los cuatro antiguos reinos españoles (Castilla, León, Aragón y Navarra). Se encuentra a la derecha del Altar Mayor. Recientemente se ha confirmado la veracidad de este hecho con exámenes de ADN. Finalmente sabemos que el verdadero Colón está en Sevilla y también en la República Dominicana, así que ¡su cuerpo está en ambos continentes! Leave a Comment

Inside the cathedral we can see beautiful works of art. In the High Altar is the greater altarpiece, considered one of the largest in the world with 27 metres high 18 metres wide. The altar is protected by an impressive screen. The H.M. the King Juan Carlos's elder daughter, Infanta Elena, got married here in 1995.
The Gothic central vault above this part has 37 metres high. You can see in the second picture the back side of the choir and one of the organs.

 North façade from Patio de los
Naranjos - Fachada by spanishguy, 3 more photos
Currently we join the courtyard by the Gate of Forgiveness where there are some Catholic images. It is said that one of them as three hands and if you find out it you'll get married!
El Patio de los Naranjos es lo que queda la desaparecida antigua mezquita mayor de Ben Basso, construida en el siglo XII por los almohades, como antesala para las obligadas abluciones de los musulmanes antes de entrar en la mezquita.
Actualmente se entra al patio por la Puerta del Perdón donde hay algunas imágenes católicas. Se dice que una de ellas tiene tres manos y que si la encuentras ¡te casarás! Leave a Comment

One of the biggest Cathedrals in the world is THE CATHEDRAL OF SEVILLE. Actually it's the third largest Christian Cathedral after St. Peter's in the Vatican and St. Paul's in London. It was HUGE. I was just blown away at how enormous it was. Its total building surface is 23,500 square metres.
Its construction, in the Gothic style, was begun in 1402 and took more than a hundred years to build.

In the Cathedral are many great paintings, beautiful chapels, the stunning Treasure Room and a monument to Christopher Columbus. Leave a Comment Phone: 95 421 49 71

The most interesting of the Chapels are the GREAT CHAPEL and the ROYAL CHAPEL, where the image of the Virgin of the Monarchs is venerated. There are 25 other Chapels, among which is the CONCEPTION and the SAN HERMENEGILDO where we find the mortal remains of Cardinal Cervantes.
Inside the Cathedral there is also a Sarcophagus-Mausoleum, sculpted by Melida at the end of the XIX century, in which the "Ashes of Christopher Columbus" are conserved.
Among the many paintings we can find works by Murillo, Valdes Leal, Riviera, Herrera "The Elder", Juan B. de Nunez and many others. Leave a Comment Phone: 95 421 49 71
