About this experience
Seville Cathedral, built in the 15th century on the site of a 12th century mosque, is one of the largest and most impressive churches in the world. On this 1 and a half hour guided tour, you will admire its spectacular golden altarpiece and the vast collection of art.
The most important piece of the complex of the cathedral of Seville is the famous bell tower of the Giralda. The tower, which reaches a height of 98 meters, was built as a minaret at the end of the 12th century. Discover the origins of the complex as an Arab mosque and see more evidences of this in the Ablution Courtyard.
Explore the collection of important works of art representing several centuries and decorate the 44 chapels of the Cathedral and the central part of the nave.
At the end of the tour, say goodbye to the guide and climb to the top of the Giralda to soak up the magnificent views of the city.
