Home to one of the largest cathedrals in the world
The queues to get in were very long so I headed to Iglesia Colegial del Divino Salvador, a church round the corner where I could buy a combined ticket. This meant I got to skip the queues for the cathedral and see both places for the price of one
Although quite plain on the outside Iglesia Colegial del Divino Salvador was full of ornate, life size statues like these
Back to the cathedral
The foundations date back to a mosque built in the 12th Century when Seville was still under Moorish rule
It was converted into a church in the 13th Century
It’s very grand inside
Christopher Columbas is in here
I went up the tower
It has ramps rather than stairs because the Imam used to ride his donkey up to do the call to prayer
Now it’s a bell tower
There were great views of the city from the top
You can find the Arabic influence in the design all over the city
I wandered around the narrow streets of Alfalfa , the old town district known for vintage tapas and wine bars
So I had wine and tapas
