Introduction
Seville Cathedral is the largest Gothic church in the Christian world, raised on the site of a former mosque and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. The soaring Giralda, converted from a minaret, is climbed by ramps not stairs, overlooking red roofs. Columbus's tomb rests within — a monument to Andalusian faith and power.
