Introduction

Seville Cathedral is located on the site of the former Seville Grand Mosque, which was later converted into a Catholic church. In the 15th century, it underwent reconstruction and became one of the world's three great cathedrals, after St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and St. Paul's Cathedral in London. The design of the cathedral combines Gothic and Muslim styles, presenting a style that is both magnificent and characteristic of Andalusia. Tourists are particularly recommended to view the bell tower of the cathedral - the Giralda Tower, which stands at 101 meters and is one of the most famous high-rise buildings in Spanish history. In 1987, it was selected as a World Heritage Site. In addition, the cathedral also houses a variety of ancient artworks, and after Columbus's coffin was transported from Cuba back to Spain in 1898, his tomb was also buried in the cathedral.
