Sights covered on Seville Cathedral tour
Step inside Seville Cathedral to explore the rich history of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and get to admire the beauty of the largest Gothic church.
La Giralda
Also known as La Giralda, in its initial days, it was used as a minaret for Great Mosque during the Almohad dynasty’s reign. After the mosque’s conversion into the cathedral, a Renaissance-style top was added to it. It was redesigned and repurposed to be used as a Bell Tower, only to be registered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987.
Capilla Mayor
Capilla Mayor or the Great Chapel has a beautiful altarpiece of 45 carved scenes depicting events from the life of Christ and Santa Maria de la Sede, the cathedral's patron saint. The gothic woodcarving attracts visitors for its beautiful artwork, the inclusion of gold, and also for being the largest and richest altarpiece in the world.
Royal Chapel
With marvelous eyecatching Renaissance architecture, the Royal Chapel lies just behind the Great Chapel. It houses relics of St. Ferdinand in a silver shrine on one of the altars, while on the other you will find the Virgin of the Kings. Interestingly, the virgin’s head holds a crown made of 22-karat gold holding nearly 12,000 precious stones.
Tomb of Christopher Columbus
The last remains of Christopher Columbus are kept in the Seville Cathedral. Decorated with a monument to the great navigator, his tomb is kept inside the cathedral while being held aloft by allegorical figures. Designed by Arturo Melida, and installed in 1899, the four figures represent four kingdoms of Spain during Columbus’ life.
Chapter House
Right next to the Sacrista Mayor, you will come across the Chapter House. Also known as the Capitular, the Chapter House is known for its magnificent domed ceiling that mirrors the floor with beautiful marble decoration. The Chapter House or the Capitular houses numerous beautiful artworks and paintings by Murillo along with the best of his works.
Door of Forgiveness
It is one of the key highlights of the Cathedral and a nod to its Islamic origins. Even with Catholic elements being prominent on either side, you can find the intricate carvings and inscriptions from the Quran on the iron door, stating its origins. Originally, this door served as the mosque entrance but is now used as the exit from the cathedral.
