Seville Cathedral
Monumental ConstructionDescription
Seville Cathedral is a monumental construction in Spain, Europe.
Seville Cathedral occupies the site of the city's former principal mosque, retaining the Giralda tower and parts of the earlier courtyard. The enormous Gothic church and its later additions reveal both continuity and transformation in the city's religious architecture. The Gothic cathedral project is traditionally associated with the decision of 1401 and completion in 1506. The retained Giralda and courtyard belong to the earlier mosque, while other cathedral additions are later.
