Cathedral and Giralda City Tour
Discover the Wonders of Seville
Cathedral and Giralda Tour
Mon - Tue - Wed - Thu - Fri - Sat (Approximately 1h 30 min.)
Designed to be one of the largest religious temples in the world, Seville Cathedral was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987 and an Asset of Outstanding Universal Value in 2010. The Cathedral has all the strength of its builders and all its symbolism will amaze you.
It was built after the demolition of the old Aljama mosque in Seville. The minaret, the current Giralda and the famous Patio de los Naranjos are preserved from the original construction. It is located next to the Archivo de Indias, the Royal Alcazar and the famous Barrio de Santa Cruz.
For more than 150 years the Christians used the Muslim temple as a centre of worship, and it was in 1401 that the Cathedral Council decided to build a new temple. Work continued until the fifteenth century, until 1506. According to tradition, the canons wanted to build a church so large that “those who saw it finished would think we were mad”.
During the Renaissance period, various annexes to the Gothic temple were rebuilt, such as the sacristy, the chapter house and the royal chapel. The last part of the Giralda was also built with the help of Hernán Ruíz, which, with a height of 104 metres, is visible from all points of the city and is currently an emblematic monument of Seville, housing the body of the bells.
During our tour, our official guide will accompany you to discover all the secrets and history of this magnificent architectural ensemble. We will discover the secrets hidden inside, such as the tomb of Christopher Columbus or the largest altarpiece in the Christian world.
After visiting the Cathedral, we will have the opportunity to stroll through the beautiful Patio de los Naranjos and, if you wish, climb to the top of the Giralda to enjoy the beautiful views over the city of Seville and take some excellent photographs to remember.
