The Cathedral of Seville: A mixture of religions with amazing results
13:00
The Cathedral is one of the most
beautiful monuments you can visit in Seville. With more than six centuries of
history, this monument is considered unique and extremely special. Back in the
days when the Muslims took over Seville, they constructed a mosque where they
could pray and practice their religion. Years later, in 1248, Ferdinand III of
Castile conquered the city and destroyed the mosque almost completely to
construct the new cathedral; which is now considered the biggest gothic
cathedral in the world.
You will be able to appreciate the
mixture of religions in several places and corners around the cathedral,
especially in the stunning and wonderful Giralda. The bottom two thirds of the
tower was constructed by the Muslims, but the top was built by the Christians.
Ferdinand did this to let the rest of the world know that Christians are
superior and therefore the owners of the city.
You will enjoy of a perfect and
beautiful view of this incredible infrastructure from most of the luxury romos
Hotel EME has. You can’t say you where in Seville if you haven’t visited the
cathedral, it is a must do.
