Cathedral of Seville

Low angle view of Giralda Minaret, Seville Cathedral, Andalucia, Spain, pictured on December 24, 2006 reflected in a pond in the winter afternoon light. Seville Cathedral is the largest Gothic building in the world. It was converted from the original 12th century Almohad Mosque on this site during the 16th century and the original Moorish entrance court and Giralda Minaret are both integrated in the cathedral. Inside is the tomb of the explorer Christopher Columbus (1451-1506). The Giralda is constructed of cut bricks, originally 82 metres high, now 103 metres high with the 16th century belfry added to the original tower. Picture by Manuel Cohen
