What you'll see
An enormous Gothic church with a forest of columns, a gilded altarpiece that fills the end wall, the tomb of Christopher Columbus held up by four bronze kings, and a courtyard of orange trees. A ramp, not stairs, winds up the Giralda for views over the rooftops.
A brief history
It was built over the city's great mosque from the early 1400s; the Giralda was the mosque's minaret, and its belfry was added in the 16th century.
