About Seville Cathedral

Seville Cathedral, also known as ‘Catedral de Santa María de la Sede’ in Spanish, is the largest Gothic building in Europe and amongst the most impressive churches in the world. A UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its stunning architecture, rich history, and significant cultural importance.

Construction of Seville Cathedral began in 1401 on the site of a former mosque, which was demolished after the Christian conquest of Seville in 1248. The cathedral was built to demonstrate Seville's wealth and power following the Reconquista.

The cathedral's architecture is mainly Gothic, with some elements of Renaissance and Baroque styles which were added later. It features a vast interior space with soaring vaulted ceilings, intricate carvings, and beautiful stained glass windows.

Capilla Mayor

The Great Chapel features an intricately carved altarpiece which has 45 scenes that depict events from the life of Christ & Santa Maria de la Sede, who is the cathedral's patron saint. The incredible hand carved pieces are amongst the biggest altarpieces in the world.

Royal Chapel

The Royal Chapel is just behind the Great Chapel and its home to various relics including those of St. Ferdinand. There is also an incredible crown which is made of gold and precious stones on another relic.

Tomb of Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus' last remains are also held at Seville Cathedral in a grand tomb which is watched over by a great monument of the man. The tomb is also suspended in the air and held up by 4 huge figures which represent the 4 kingdoms of Spain that were relevant during Columbus' life.

Door of Forgiveness

Paying homage to its Islamic roots, the Door of Forgiveness is a major feature of the cathedral. You can see handmade carvings and inscriptions of the Quran on the door, which was originally the main door of the Mosque, but is now used the the cathedral's exit point.

The Bell Tower ‘La Giralda’

Its Bell Tower is a local landmark and one of the most famous features of the cathedral and is known as ‘La Giralda’. Originally built as a minaret during the reign of the Almohad dynasty in the 12th century, it was later converted into a bell tower after the Christian reconquest. It stands at 104 metres (341 feet) and is accessible via a series of ramps rather than stairs, reflecting its Moorish origins. The Bell Tower offers incredible views of the surrounding area.

Seville Cathedral is the final resting place of several notable figures, including Christopher Columbus. His tomb is held up by four figures that represent the four kingdoms of Spain at the time of his discovery of the Americas.

The cathedral is also home to a vast collection of art and treasures, including numerous paintings, sculptures, and religious artifacts. One of the most famous works of art in the cathedral is the altarpiece of the Chapel of the Virgin, known as the "Retablo Mayor," created by Flemish artist Pieter Dancart.

UNESCO World Heritage Site Status

Seville Cathedral, along with the nearby Alcázar and the General Archive of the Indies, is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Recognized for its historical and cultural significance as well as its architectural beauty.
