- Seville Cathedral is the largest gothic Cathedral in the world and recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located in the centre of the city close to other important highlights such as the Real Alcazar and Archivo de Indias. The outside features of this magnificent monument is absolutely beautiful but going inside will stunned you even more.
‘Let us build a church so beautiful and so grand that those who see it finished will think we are mad’
That's the famous legend behind Seville Cathedral. Words said by the church elders before the beginning of the construction which was lasted over a century from year 1401. Santa Maria de la Sede also known as Seville Cathedral is not your ordinary Church. This marvellous building is so extraordinary making your visit memorable. It is the burial site of important members of the church, the Spanish Kings and Queens and the famous explorer Christopher Columbus.
In this Seville cathedral walking tour you can see the combination of Gothic and Baroque architecture styles makes this monument so magnificent and is widely renowned as one of the most significant symbols of the city. But aside from it's amazing physical features, the history behind each walls will interest you more.
The cathedral of Seville has its origins with the Moors like other famous buildings in Andalucia. It was the site of the Almohad mosque but those in charge of the Catholic kingdom wanted to build the largest cathedral in the world to prove their wealth and importance to outsiders. That's how the construction of the Cathedral began. There are some parts leftover from the Moorish reign like the Giralda, the old minaret before, is now the cathedral’s bell tower.
In this Spanish Cathedral is so much to see, with a total of 15 doors and 80 chapels.
Inside you will see the Tomb of Christopher Columbus. He is in a coffin being carried by four figures which represent the kingdoms of Spain during his lifetime: Navarre, Aragon, Castile and Leon.
Another important highlights is the Great Chapel and Altarpiece. it is the largest altarpiece in the world made up of 44 reliefs from scenes of Christ which are made up in polychrome wood and copious amounts of gold.
Another important chapel is the Royal Chapel where you will find the crown on top of the Virgin's head. It has nearly 12,000 precious stones and is made of 22-karat gold.
Next is Giralda, the crown jewel of the Cathedral of Seville which will give you the best panoramic views of the city. There are no stairs climbing up to the top but a series of 35 inclined ramps which is wide and easier for visitors.
And as you leave this marvellous Spanish Cathedral you will see the patio de los naranjos or the orange tree courtyard. The worshippers during Moorish times wash their hands and feet in the center fountain here before praying which is one of the only remnants of the Visigoth period.
And the last one is The door of forgiveness which is the door you'll exit was originally the entrance to the mosque. It's a horse-shoe shaped masterpiece with beautiful carvings.
Those are just some of the best highlights when visiting the Cathedral, there's a lot more to see that will leave you deeply impressed with all the amazing things inside and outside of this striking architecture.

Very informative. I will be watching all your videos on Seville before I go there. I thought you can go in for free on Sundays, probably no audio though.
Hi Tess Thanks for watching.. most of the important monuments in Seville are free on Monday not just The Cathedral like Alcázar, torre del oro and more but you also need to book for free admission in advance because the slots are limited and time may vary. You can check that directly on their website😊

I wish I saw your video before, anyway I had a beautiful memories there one month ago
Thanks!! I hope you enjoyed my city 😊
The reason giralda tower has ramps not stairs is because the Muslim caller to prayer (mu’adhin) would ride up the giant tower on his horse 5 times a day.
👌
This building and many others like it were not built by humans. This was long standing before humans arrived. Religious freaks took over these buildings when they found them because religious leaders had all the power back then.
Can you access the high altar without booking a guided tour?
Yes
@@familialeontravels6945 can you go through closer beyond the gates/grills that barricade the altar? So far i’ve only seen guided tours go all the way in.
I’m not so sure about that. Long time I’m not living in Spain anymore. Sorry
Isn't it the nice gigantic building the one that was used to be a nice gigabtic mosque?
O
what time of the year did you go?
I born in Seville
