Guided tour was definitely the best way to visit this amazing cathedral. We met in the designated guided tour entrance which was along Av. De La Constitución. We booked the English tour at 15:30 and that would last for about 1.5 hours. Nestor was our guide and met everyone outside. He was a great source of information throughout this tour, patient and also made sure all of our questions were answered. The tour took a limited number of visitors and brought us into areas not accessible on the regular admission including the choir and the largest main altar in the world. The main altar was just amazing to see and it was even larger than the one we saw years ago at the cathedral primada in Toledo. We also viewed one of the most famous occupants in the Cathedral, the monumental tomb to Christopher Columbus. When the tour ended he also brought some of the group over to the entrance to the Giralda, bell tower, to climb the ramps all the ways to the top. Unfortunately by that hour it was hailing and pouring rain so it was difficult to take in the above views of Seville. We did come back the next morning to partake in mass which took place before the general admission. It was a unique experience made even better with the accompanying choir with the organ. This was also the only time one could see the Chapel of Santa Maria de la Antigua before the curtains were drawn across the gate. read more

This was a unique tour, in that we got to ascend to the highest points of the gothic cathedral - fun fact, this is actually the biggest gothic cathedral in the world. Some other facts we learned about the church: The stone quarry that supplied the raw materials for construction came from Cádiz (150 kilometers away) - there were two boats built to ship the material along the river. How inventive for hundreds of years ago to be able to ship material from that far away! The material used to construct the church was primarily sandstone, which isn't all that resistant to pressure - restoration work now uses limestone as a more sturdy replacement material. Once the cathedral was completed, at its peak it held approximately 400 masses per day in the 16th century. While we were on the roof, our tour guide pointed out small holes in the roof, now covered, which during construction were used to lower tools to the floor below, as well as help with ventilation. It was an ornate, beautiful cathedral to have the privilege of exploring! read more

Probably one of the best cathedrals I've seen in all of Spain (neck-in-neck with the Toledo Cathedral). The audio guide has narration for over 40 chapels and portions of the cathedral. The guide does lose power which is a tad annoying since completing the tour almost drains the entire battery. The app is also quite glitchy and while it "greys out" rooms you have already visited, after resetting, it erases your progress. The Giralda (bell tower) is gorgeous with the Mujedar style. Reminded me of the mosques and minarets in Morocco. Converted to a bell tower when Sevilla was retaken by Christianity. The tower is quite feasible to climb with ramps rather than stairs. Views are nice and bells are lovely, but might he repetitive if you've visited other bell towers. read more

Need to wear modest clothing that covers shoulders to be let inside. Very impressive architectural feat. Crazy how they built it in the Middle Ages. Still inspires awe today. The tower was a bit over rated. Climb 34 levels just to see bells at the top and the skyline. I would have been fine with just the main church. Their audio guides are very detailed and have a lot of content but I wish it was less confusing to figure out which videos to play. Also they have them on phones and my phone died before I finished my tour. read more

Wonderful guided evening rooftop tour gave me excellent insight to this largest Gothic Cathedral in the world with a smaller, intimate group (maybe 20-25 total) with far less crowds.

UNESCO World Heritage Site, largest Gothic temple in the world, and the 3rd largest Christian temple (after St. Peter's of the Vatican and St. Paul's of London). Christopher Columbus is buried here. I read that the mandate for the new church was "Let's build a church so beautiful and so magnificent that those who see it finished will think we are mad." Evidence of this ... or it could be my ignorance (so please educate me) ... I saw a lot of cherub/baby heads everywhere esp. at the base of the statue of Mary. I tried to google the symbolism but nothing. One of my Spanish friends said cherubs are like angels. Still I found the body-less baby heads creepy. And as another friend said to me - there's a lot of paintings and stained glass of Jesus suffering. Still, amazing architecture and art here. The highlight was actually Giralda, the bell tower, which I'll review separately. We bought the tickets in-person for 12€ ... you can buy on-line for 11€ but when you go to the site, it says it's hacked?? You can pay 21€ for a guided tour, and 5€ for an audio guide. TIP - One of my friends said they attended Mass, so they got in free :) read more

The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See, better known as the Seville Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Seville. It was registered in 1987 by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, along with the adjoining Alcázar palace complex and the General Archive of the Indies. When I walked in, I was impressed by the size of the altars, ceilings, naves, etc. It's a bit dark on the inside, but the amount of artwok, sculptures, statues and paintings is impressive. It is the fourth-largest church in the world as well as the largest Gothic church. After its completion in the early 16th century, Seville Cathedral supplanted Hagia Sophia as the largest cathedral in the world, a title the Byzantine church had held for a thousand years. The Gothic section alone has a length of 413 ft, a width of 249 ft, and its maximum height in the center of the transept is 138 ft. The total height of the Giralda tower from the ground to the weather vane is 342 ft 10 in. The Seville Cathedral was the site of the baptism of Infante Juan of Aragon in 1478, only son of the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. Its royal chapel holds the remains of the city's conqueror, Ferdinand III of Castile, his son and heir, Alfonso the Wise, and their descendant, King Peter the Just. The funerary monuments for cardinals Juan de Cervantes and Pedro González de Mendoza are located among its chapels. Christopher Columbus and his son Diego are also buried in the cathedral. The Archbishop's Palace is located on the northeastern side of the cathedral. As a tourist, if you go in to sightsee and take pictures, there's an entrance fee but is free on Sundays if you show up for mass! read more

I'm not religious but it was quite impressive to see the largest gothic cathedral in the world. Lots of meme worthy Jesus art but you can't help but be in awe of the sheer size of this place. Also, gotta give it to Christopher Columbus for having the most dope tomb. The view from top of the tower is a very great view of the city, that alone was worth the ticket price. But it is 35 floors up, no elevators...we saw a lot of people struggling but luckily the hills of San Francisco has prepped us. Pro tip: You can buy tickets in person which is located on the southern side of cathdral. Its not obvious because there's another entrance(eastern) which took online tickets and theres no sign for where to buy. read more

Third largest Cathedral in the world is here at Seville Spain. This place was a must see here. Since I had a limited time and saw a very long line to purchase a ticket, I opted for guided tour. I purchased a ticket on Viator app the night before I visited here. I was glad I opted for a guided tour as they have a special entrance for tour group. They have a Christopher Columbus' tomb here. So many gold and other precious metals were used inside, I kept thinking how much money they had back then and that allowed then to send so many explores around the world, and how it influenced so many Spanish speaking countries around the world. If you have a time, be sure to go up all the way to the top of the tower. It is very crowded up there but the view is amazing. I think I stayed about 3 hours here and I think I could have stayed longer if I wanted to take more time to appreciate interior. read more

Cathedral de Sevilla - Inside - Churches Near Me - Seville, SE

The Cathedral de Sevilla was one of our favorite sights in this city. There are many interesting features of this cathedral which showcase different time periods. This cathedral is the largest Gothic church in the world and the largest cathedral. I felt like a wide-eyed child walking around staring up at the ceiling then running over to something and exclaiming "OMG look at this!" It is hard not to be impressed even if you've seen hundreds of churches in Europe. Exterior: The main cathedral door, the Door of Assumption, is one of the many facades that you will find intricately decorated. The Giralda bell tower is one of the most defining exterior features, and tourists can go up the bell tower to get a view of the city. The center of the cathedral contains a square open-air patio, the Patio de las Naranjas. There is a center fountain and beautiful views of the cathedral. Interior: Visitors can see the tomb of explorer Christopher Columbus inside the cathedral. Although the interior is very intricate and ornate in every inch and corner nothing can quite top the altarpiece. It is the largest altarpiece in the world, container multiple scene of Jesus and made of both wood and finished in gold. I could not take my eyes off of it. Definitely worth the euros to visit, even on a busy day! It is only a few blocks from the Alcazar so if you are planning a visit to Seville it will fit right in with your other plans. read more

This was unbelievably impressive! We are staying a stones throw from the Cathedral and happened to walk past it at night, and wandered in the next day not really having done our research. We got the guided audio tour, and was really blown away by the entire visit. It is totally worth the audio tour and the hour or so you're going to spend walking through here. Not religious at all, and it kept both of us in awe. read more

The largest gothic cathedral in the world is also the final resting place of Christopher Columbus. We visited on a warm April day with a private guide by Tours by Local and were among the first to enter at 11 am since so many attractions in Spain have separate lines for guests coming with guides. The size and scale of this place is almost indescribable from the towering ceilings designed to lift your eyes to the heavens to the 4 organs required to fill the space with heavenly sound to the 30 foot gold covered alter illustrating the stories of the Bible to the many private chapels including the one dedicated to Columbus. There is lots to see and you can even climb to the top of the tower ( included in the 9€ admission) that was constructed originally as a minaret when the moors controlled the territory then later retrofitted to today's tower. The good thing. No stairs ( ramps instead) as originally horses were used to make the 5-times daily climb for the Muslim call to worship. An amazing site. read more

I hate Christopher Columbus. And I hate that my childhood education made him out to be some sort of hero. He was a thief. A murderer. A rapist. An enslaver. An overall asshole. He did not discover America...humans were living in America long before he did. The Greeks and the educated knew the world was a sphere centuries before he did. And he is buried here in this Cathedral... And how often do you get to flip off the grave of famous historical figure whom you hate? Despite my hatred of this evil man, the history nerd that I am wanted to see his final resting place, and this cathedral is gargantuan and incredible. Be sure to walk everywhere, there seems to be hidden rooms and doorways everywhere, with exquisite art, architecture, and alters. I've seen a lot of European churches, but this is definitely in the top 5. TIP: Upon exciting you'll be approached by women offering your "free" rosemary. Don't take it! They will grab your hand, read your palm, and demand at least 5 euro. read more

By the time I toured this cathedral, I had already seen a bunch of museums and other historical monuments. Just when I thought another cathedral couldn't top the ones I had already seen, in comes Cathedral de Sevilla. It's very impressive on the outside to say the least, but wait until you see the inside. My first impression when stepping inside was: seriously?! How did they ever build such a high ceiling almost a thousand years ago? One of the altarpieces in the middle of the cathedral took something like 80 years to create and my eyes and brain couldn't process all the intricate details fast enough. Even if cathedrals aren't your thing, I think this one is worth a visit if you come to Spain. After all, it is the final resting place of Christopher Columbus and it feels surreal to be there. read more

It's hot out here in line waiting to enter in but it is well worth the wait. The outside of this Cathedral is magnificent. I am so pumped up to what I would see on the inside. When you first walk in you're just in Awe! Maybe just me. From the handcrafted wooden artifacts, to the pictures, to the bust. The sculpture of the Head of John the Baptist, to the the larger than life sculpture of the carrying of Christopher Columbus's casket This is a must see and must visit attraction. Words can not fully tell it and the pictures only reveal a small portion of the splendor. read more

The Cathedral of Sevilla is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. I really liked this place, for multiple reasons. 1. Its the largest Gothic Cathedral in the world 2. One of many places that may house the body (or parts) of Christopher Columbus 3. I learned a lot about Christopher Columbus. The place is really huge and beautiful and lots of fine details and things to look at. There is a bell tower that you can climb up to the top free of charge, many other places charge an extra fee to go up to the top of the tower. The bell tower used to be a former minaret, where Muslims used to go up and chant their call to prayer. I went with a tour group, if you're doing it on your own I'd suggest purchasing the audio guide, of course I don't know if you'll get as much information as i did with the tour guid but the things i learned about Columbus was worth it. 1. Columbus died thinking he had discovered a new route to India (not a new land called America) 2. They do not know his nationality, was he Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Jewish? everyone wants to claim them for their own. Though most history books call him Italian, he did not speak or write proper Italian. The date of his departure in 1492 could suggest that he could be Jewish, since thats when jews were facing persecution and being driven out of the country. 3. After he returned he was made governor of the indies. He was a very harsh and brutal leader, he often used tortured and slavery as means of punishment and was later imprisoned by queen Isabella. After being thrown in prison, he vowed to never be buried in Spain. When he died his body was moved to many places including the Dominican Republic, Cuba then finally here in Sevilla. So his body rests above ground (not buried as requested) although i don't think thats what he meant. read more

Spectacular cathedral and one not to miss if visiting Sevilla! I had heard the hype and read about the lines especially in the tourist rush season. Thankfully I had purchased my ticket in advance, but still faced a grueling line. Speaking of the ticket, it is very affordable, hitting you for about 10 euro, which is pretty cheap if you have spent time touring around western European attractions. Ticket and pricing aside, this Cathedral is well worth the wait, even during the warm Spring/Summer days! Once inside, expect to spend around an hour plus admiring the large spire ceilings, gothic architecture, numerous gold art pieces, and their smaller art museum (Not for the claustrophobic tourist). If all of that is not enough for you and looking for more of a workout with a beautiful view, do not skip out on the tower climb, but I will warn you, it is a tight climb and a heft one, so be prepared. The climb takes about 25 minutes with a brisk hike, and could last longer if you are out of shape or have any physical ailments. I will let the pictures really speak for themselves or the numerous other in depth reviews! read more

I know that my review of the Catedral de Sevilla is just a drop in the bucket. If in Sevilla, the cathedral is definitely worth a stop. For those wanting some interpretation of the building, be sure to either read up beforehand or get a guide as there is a lot to take in. Additionally, for those who can take the stairs up the tower, the climb is worth it as the views offered from the cathedral are completely unhindered. The best part about the walk up is that the winding ramp/stair combo isn't all that steep. Still, it's a ways up--breathtaking in more than one way! read more

A must see while in Sevilla as it is apparently one of the largest cathedrals in the world. Factor in some time to purchase your tickets if you haven't Purchased them already. Standby line took around 30 minutes during our Saturday morning visit in November. They do have student price but unfortunately it's only up to age 25 (tip - try to speak to them in Spanish if you are a student. They may not ask you for ID and you could get by with this if you're over 25). It's around 10 euros for entry but it's worth it. If you're crunched on time, make sure you see the Tomb of Christopher Columbus (yes he's buried here) and climb the tower to get the 360 view of Sevilla! You can easily spend 1-2 hours here but we did it in around 45 minutes. Appreciate the fascinating architecture of the church during your visit! Definitely something you don't want to miss out. read more

Warning if you're driving here some of the streets are one way and so narrow only small cars can get thru. On one street I literally had to let a couple walk by before I made a left turn because there was no space between the walls and my smart car. I lucked out and found street parking just blocks from the Cathedral. We didn't purchase tickets and the line for non groups was about a half an hour. Once inside, I purchased the narrated audio self guided tour which I suggest since there's so much to see. I drove in from Marbella so we could spend an entire day in Seville and made it a point to see Europe's largest Gothic architectural style church, largest cathredral worldwide and third largest church in Europe which contains 80 chapels. Construction of the mosque in began in 1402 and took over a century to complete. The Church is breathtaking especially the main altar which took 82 years to complete. Another stand out was the tomb of remains of Christopher Columbus where he is being carried by four massive statues to his final resting place. Be sure to hike up the Giralda bell tower because you'll be rewarded at the top with incredible views of the city and have a view the bullfighting arena. Definitely a must see when visiting Seville. read more

When in Spain, do as the Spanish do: go to a cathedral! During my most recent trip to Spain this year, I visited probably about 4 or 5 churches... after a while, they all look about the same. The first cathedral I visited was the Catedral de Toledo, which I thought was pretty amazing, especially after seeing the tesoro (treasury) there. I visited Seville and its cathedral after my visit to Toledo, and I was even more mind blown when I came here. Not only was the cathedral bigger (it happens to be the largest Gothic church in the world), it was even more grandiose! Lots of paintings and art to see and admire throughout the cathedral. The treasury was even bigger and more impressive, which encompassed MULTIPLE rooms (Catedral de Toledo only had 1 room of treasuries) that houses the spoils and riches of the Conquistadors. One of the highlights of the Seville Cathedral is Columbus' tomb. Apparently his body was shipped and moved around from various countries until it finally rested in its current place in the Catedral de Sevilla. His tomb wasn't gilded in gold though...you'd think it would be since Columbus was sent to find it. Another highlight of the Seville Cathedral is the Giralda, which was a former minaret turned into bell tower. You can walk the many steps up to the top of the tower and get an aerial view of Seville...which is absolutely breathtaking. If you're physically able, you should definitely trek your way up to the top and admire the views of the Seville landscape as well as the church bells above you (don't worry they won't fall on you!). Entrance fare is 8 euros, for adults. There is also a student fare, which requires ID and verification of your age, no exceptions. Like the Alcazar, they are strict about checking IDs/verifying age to make sure you qualify for reduced fares. Overall, I enjoyed my time exploring the Cathedral from top to bottom. While the Cathedral is really big and frankly pretty ostentatious, it's still an amazing sight to visit and marvel at. After all it's an expression of post-Spanish Reconquista confidence, strength, and wealth. I must say this cathedral was one of my favorites that I've visited so far in Spain (my other fave would be the Mezquita in Cordoba). Definitely give this place a look-see if you're in the neighborhood. Five solid stars. read more

Like so many others before me, and I can't say enough nor do I want to repeat the many wonderful words and descriptions of this iconic place. You must come and see for yourself. One point I will make is that it is the 3rd largest catholic church in the world behind St. Peter's in Rome and St. Paul's in London. Everything in here is eye catching and the piece de resistance is the tomb of Christopher Columbus. I couldn't imaging attending a Sunday mass here - such grandeur! If your health and heart allows, a short trek up the bell tower to see the city is amazing. Make sure you get an audio guide as there's so much to see and absorb. I am in awe of this place and humbled by its grandeur and size. The hard part is coming home to my little dinky church. read more

Well worth the money. We visited in July 2021, literally walked in and after 5 min we were touring the cathedral. Yes, we got pretty lucky, Spain just reopened to visitors (Covid related) and Sevilla was probably not very high on the everybody's list. Well, it should have been. This cathedral was a stunner! I read it was one of the largest if not the largest in the world, definitely largest Gothic church in the world..but till you actually climb to the top and look down, you cannot comprehend the sheer size of it. We visited quite a few churches and cathedrals so far on our tour, you would think it would be hard to impress us at this point, well we were quiet impressed. Even if not into churches, cathedrals-this one I definitely recommend. And did I mention for history buffs, C. Colombo's tomb is inside. If you plan climbing to the top, don't wear open shoes unless they have good ankle support. The stone is very slippery and there are no stairs, so it gets very slippery. Also, with Covid situation masks are required so it can get pretty hot climbing 35 floors. Be carful if you have issues with claustrophobia. It is on UNESCO World Heritage List. read more

The Cathedral de Sevilla is a beautifully vast and ornate icon in the city of Seville. It is the largest gothic cathedral in the world! The cathedral is very large, with lots to explore. Personally, I am not the hugest fan of touring churches and Cathedrals, but I can see that this be a huge hit for many people who are interested in the such, and foresee them spending a large portion of time here. They also have an outdoor orange tree courtyard, which I'm sure is beautiful when the oranges are harvesting. Unfortunately, during our visit the Giralda Tower was closed to construction. I was really excited about seeing the views of the city from the tower, which I've heard are amazing. The line for the Cathedral gets VERY long. I suggest visiting the El Salvador Church first and getting your ticket there - it's a double entry ticket and you'll be able to skip the line at the Cathedral. read more
