This majestic Cathedral dates back to the 15th century and claims to be the third largest building of its kind in the world.

This is THE site to visit when in Sevilla. Absolutely enormous, the largest gothic cathedral in the world consists of the main cathedral, many chapels, a small treasury and many memorials plus the converted bell tower. When busy, it’s much better to have purchased tickets in advance or be prepared to wait in long lines to hope to buy a ticket. It takes 2 1/2 - 3 hours to visit everything while stopping to enjoy the varied architecture. A Columbus is buried here so some come to see that. The organ has four banks with over 7000 pipes and can be heard at specific times during the week. Fantastic piece of history. Cheers!

A free to enter museum with a British passport (at the moment) we were able to wander at leisure through a magnificent exhibition of religious art by one of Sevilles greatest exponent from the 17th Century. The statues were exceedingly lifelike and the paintings were real works of art. Well worth the 2 hours we spent which seemed like half an hour

Construction of this palace began in 1492. Today, part of the palace is a museum and is open to the public. There is a separate wing where the present Duchess of Medinaceli lives with her descendants and family. The palace has many gardens, patios, fountains, and salons. The patios contain many Roman statues. Everywhere on the first floor one will find Roman mosaic floors. The walls are covered with beautiful ceramic tile in many different Mudejar styles.

This lovely structure was originally built as a minaret for a mosque, although it has since been converted into a bell tower.
Reviewed By Razeghian - Paris, France
This tower first has been constructed as a minaret of the masque by moorish caliphate in 10 or 11 century and then its changed to a bell tower of the cathedral when Christian conquered Seville in 12 century. I recomend to climb it and visit the town from 104m high tower.

The title of the review was taken from the free guide to the chuirch and I certainly couldn't disagree with it! I visited this church in the morning (after visiting the cathedral the previous afternoon) and what a difference; the interior is cool with few visitors and the free guide leaflet and information boards dotted around are very good. The altarpieces are stunning and although I am not the slightest bit religious, you cannot help but be overawed by the craftmanship and quality of the decoration. To describe the various altarpieces would take too long but the highlights for me was the St Christopher statue in painted wood dating from 1597 and the flying angels on the main altarpiece, holding the lamps! It is a place to sit and marvel at the decoration. There are very good restrooms as well and don't forget to visit the High and Low sacristies which contain interesting religious exhibits. The Orange Tree Court didn't appear to be open when I visited. The combined ticket covers both the admission to the cathedral and San Salvador - for my money, this church is by far the better of the two!
