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!

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!
