cathedral y giralda

The cathedral in seville is the largest gothic cathedral and third largest cathedral in the world-first is st. peter's at the vatican, 2nd shrine of our lady of aparecida in brazil, and fourth is st. john's in ny. The audio guide in seville's cathedral will tell you it is the largest in the world (depending on what criteria you use to measure) and there is also a letter from the Guiness Book of World Records on display to prove this. The tomb of Christopher Columbus is also inside.

The cathedral is a former mosque converted by the christians. The giralda is the large bell tower sticking up in the back of the picture. It was a former minaret, which is now topped with a cross and bell.
