The Cathedral of Seville is so large that it is simply impossible to touch it from the outside in any way. It does not fit into a single composition like Mesquita in Cordoba, despite its also impressive size. The cathedral was built on the site of a mosque. The Giralda (former minaret) and the orange courtyard remained from the mosque. Even at the time of its construction, the cathedral amazed the townspeople with its size, and the inhabitants of Seville said: “Descendants will consider us mad because we decided to build a temple of such beauty and such dimensions. ”
Entrance to the Cathedral costs 8 euros. This also includes the ascent to the Giralda. Climbing the Giralda from inside the Cathedral.
Giralda. This beauty is already 800 years old. Actually, initially the Giralda was called the bronze statue of Vera at the very top, but over time, the whole tower began to be called that. The statue was erected on the former minaret during the next restructuring in 1568. By that time, the tower was already almost 400 years old.
Roman bricks, Muslim carved weaves, lancet openwork balconies and windows, and a completely Renaissance bell tower. Here in this heap of times and epochs, probably, there is the whole of Andalusia. Every time she comes into view, it is impossible to look away from her and the hand itself reaches for the camera))) Beautiful panoramas of Seville open from Giralda. Climbing on foot, but not difficult, because the climb is not up the stairs, but along the ramp.
