Built atop the remains of a mosque, Seville Cathedral, also known as Catedral de Santa María de la Sede, stands as the world’s largest Gothic cathedral. Its interior houses a breathtaking gold altarpiece in the main altar, showcasing 36 intricate scenes from the life of Christ. Visitors can also see the tomb of Christopher Columbus and admire works by renowned artists such as Goya and Murillo. The dramatic Giralda Tower, a prominent feature of the cathedral, offers a striking contrast to the detailed Gothic architecture, providing a unique blend of historical and artistic elements.
