Seville Cathedral

Seville Cathedral

The three buildings in central Seville—the cathedral, the Alcázar, and the General Archive of the Indies—form an extraordinary monumental complex. The cathedral and the Alcázar date back to the period of territorial reconquest from 1248 to the 16th century. These two structures show Moorish influences and are also historical testimonies of the Almohad civilization and Christian Andalusian civilization.

The Giralda Minaret is a masterpiece of Almohad architecture. Adjacent to it stands Seville Cathedral, which has five naves and is the largest Gothic building in Europe. The cathedral houses the tomb of Christopher Columbus. The General Archive of the Indies was converted from an old auction hall and contains invaluable archival documents from the early period of European colonization in the Americas.
