Cathedral, Alcázar and Archivo de Indias in Seville

World Heritage
Spain
🎧  Listen to Introduction

Together, these three buildings form a striking monumental complex in the heart of Seville. Built between the Reconquista in 1248 and the 16th century, the Cathedral and the Alcázar are outstanding testimonies of the Almohad dynasty and Andalusian Christian civilization, with strong Moorish influences. The Giralda Tower is a masterpiece of Almohad architecture. It stands next to the cathedral, which has five naves; it is the largest Gothic building in Europe and contains the tomb of Christopher Columbus. The old Lonja, later the Archives of the Indies, houses precious documents from the archives of the American colonies.
