Visiting Seville Cathedral is like stepping into a world filled with meaning and symbolism, where every architectural detail tells a story. This guided tour offers the opportunity to explore its chapels, crypts, and works of art with the guidance of experts in history and art.
The tour begins inside Seville Cathedral, recognized as the largest Christian Gothic cathedral in the world by surface area, measuring an impressive 76 meters wide and 116 meters long. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 and a Property of Exceptional Universal Value in 2010, this magnificent temple stands as a testament to the city’s historical and spiritual richness.
One of the tour’s highlights is the Patio de los Naranjos, a space filled with history and mysticism. This annex is a living testament to the mosque that once stood here in medieval times, and its architectural details retain traces of Seville’s Islamic past. Walking among the orange trees, you’ll witness the perfect harmony between the past and present.
Inside the cathedral, we will pause at one of its most iconic features: the tomb of Christopher Columbus. This monument rests on an imposing podium, where four figures representing the ancient kingdoms of Navarre, Valencia, León, Castile, and Granada carry the coffin in a solemn tribute to the navigator who changed the course of history.
The tour concludes with a climb to the Giralda, the cathedral’s bell tower and a true symbol of Seville. From its summit, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the city while uncovering the architectural evolution that turned this tower into an unmistakable icon of Sevillian culture and history.
This tour is not just an exploration of Seville Cathedral but also a connection to centuries of history, art, and tradition that shape the essence of this unique city.
