Seville Cathedral


Did you know that the Cathedral in Seville is the largest Gothic cathedral the world? Also, in general it's the third largest church in the world! This Roman Catholic church was completed in the 16th century after the Reconquista, and the church was built to demonstrate Seville's wealth and power. It was constructed on the site of a mosque and its bell tower originated as a minaret and offers fantastic views of the city. In addition to other treasures the cathedral is home to the remains of Christopher Columbus.
