Very friendly and competent guide What I didn't like was the change in schedule that was imposed on us (we had booked the start of the tour at 2:30 p.m. and it was changed to 12:30 p.m.!!!). We only had 25 minutes free to eat and visit the Alcazar gardens, which is not enough. 1 hour would have been perfect.

Guide was excellent. He knew his subject well and answered direct questions about Seville cathedral and the Giralda tower that he may not have been expected to know. Being able to skip the queues (and it was very busy leading up to Holy Week) was a real bonus. The cathedral and Giralda tower are well worth visiting and well worth paying for the speedy entrance and guide.

Royal Chapel

Added to the cathedral in the 16th century, Capilla Real or the Royal Chapel is a Renaissance-style structure placed right behind the Great Chapel featuring royal tombs and two altars. One altar is home to a silver shrine that consists of the relics of Saint Ferdinand while the other features a 13th-century figure of the Patron Saint of Seville, the Virgin of the Kings, holding a 22-carat gold crown with almost 12,000 precious stones on his head.

Tomb of Christopher Columbus

Installed inside the cathedral in 1899, the tomb of Christopher Columbus was designed by Arturo Melida and is held high up by four allegorical figures that represent the four kingdoms (Castile, Navaro, Leon, and Aragon) of Spain, which existed at the time of Columbus and where he spent his life. You'll find the tomb right inside the cathedral's main entrance.

Capilla Mayor

Known for housing the richest and largest altarpiece in the world, Capilla Mayor or the Retablo Mayor consists of the main chapel along with several other side chapels, a choir, and 15 doors. The altarpiece, which features 45 beautifully carved scenes from the Bible, is made of polychrome wood and gold and is placed opposite the choir.

Chapter House

A Spanish Renaissance addition to the Seville Cathedral, the Chapter House was built in the 16th century right next to the Main Sacristy. Also known as the Capitular, the Chapter House is home to several beautiful paintings and artworks of Murillo. It is known for its magnificent domed ceiling that reflects the stunning marble floor.

Door of Forgiveness

Also known as Puerta del Perdon, the Door of Forgiveness is located in the North Façade of Seville Cathedral and provides access to the Patio de los Naranjos (orange tree courtyard) from Calle Almanes. Originally built as the entrance to the Almohad Mosque, the Door of Forgiveness has retained its shape of a horseshoe arch and several other Islamic architectural elements like the intricate carvings and inscriptions from the Quran on the iron door.

Colombiana Library

Located on the west side of the Patio de los Naranjos, the Colombiana Library houses over 6,000 copies of rare books, 940 incunabula, and manuscripts on the discovery of America. Several of these manuscripts have been written by Christopher Columbus himself. Fernando Colon, a known scholar and second son of Columbus, inherited his father’s personal library after his death and bought books to enrich it. The library, as of today, contains books on Columbus’ interests and explorations.

Main Sacristy

Accessible from the antechambers of the Capilla Mayor on the south side of Seville Cathedral, Sacristia Mayor or the Main Sacristy is a Renaissance-style museum displaying the Montanes crucifix and several magnificent and iconic artworks by celebrated Spanish artists like Francisco de Goya, Bartolome Esteban Murillo, Luis de Morales, Campana, Zurbaran, and others. The ceiling of the dome depicts scenes from The Last Judgment while the interiors feature arched doors and countless sculptural reliefs.

Patio de los Naranjos

Also known as the Orange Tree Courtyard, the Patio de los Naranjos was retained from the Almohad Mosque and is lined with beautiful orange, palm, and cypress trees. The Moorish-style courtyard was originally the prayer hall of the mosque. The courtyard, as we know it today, also features a large fountain from the Visigoth Period built on the site of the Sabil, an area where Muslims performed ritual ablutions before entering the mosque. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a tiring tour.

La Giralda viewed from Alcazar Gardens, Seville, Spain.

Formerly the minaret of the Great Mosque during the rule of the Almohad dynasty, the La Giralda is now the bell tower of Seville Cathedral and is also one of the most important symbols of the medieval city of Andalusia in Spain. Standing tall at 104.5 meters, the tower was redesigned with a Renaissance-style top added to it after the Almohad Mosque was converted into the cathedral.
