For several centuries the towering Gothic edifice that is the Seville Cathedral has been one of the most prominent landmarks in the city. As you step through the door, it is the sheer size and grandeur that are immediately evident, and on further inspection you will become aware of the elegance and balance of the overall design and the restraint of the decoration. You can climb to the top of the Giralda (bell tower), which was originally built as the minaret of the great Aljama Mosque, which originally occupied the site of the cathedral in the 12th century. Do not miss the chance to visit the imposing and elaborate tomb of Christopher Columbus, who was laid to rest in the cathedral. The cathedral has been awarded UNESCO World Heritage Status and should not be missed.
