Upon your arrival, the impressive façade will reveal many of the cathedral's mysteries, built atop the remnants of a historic mosque.

The beautiful Puerta del Príncipe, facing Plaza del Triunfo, draws many visitors due to its intricate architecture.
Inside, you'll be struck by the grand dimensions and the brilliance of numerous artistic creations that showcase its cultural significance. The High Altarpiece is one of the largest worldwide, and the cathedral also shelters the tomb of Christopher Columbus among several remarkable sections, including the Royal Chapel, the Main Chapel, the Alabaster Chapel, and the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception. The audio guide will enrich your understanding of these notable areas!
Another highlight accessible with your ticket is the Patio de los Naranjos, a tranquil garden full of vibrancy, reflecting its heritage as a mosque. Enjoy a leisurely stroll among its trees while admiring the architectural details of the Cathedral from the outside.
Giralda
Currently serving as the belfry of the Cathedral, the Giralda was initially designed as the minaret for the Almohad mosque. Now, it stands as one of the city’s most significant monuments and a major attraction.
Constructed during the Muslim era and influenced by the Koutoubia in Marrakesh, this tower was finished in the Christian period. Standing tall at 104 meters (341 feet), the Giralda is one of Seville's iconic landmarks. From its summit, visitors are rewarded with some of the finest views of the city.
