I went on a tour of the cathedral (La Catedral) today and it's famous bell tower (La Giralda). The cathedral is the third largest in the world after St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City and Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida in Brazil. It does hold the title of largest Gothic cathedral in the world, so needless to say, it's pretty legit. It's really hard to show in pictures but I promise you it was fantastic, particularly the views from the top of the Giralda.
