The tomb of Christopher Columbus is located inside the Seville Cathedral in Spain. You can find four allegorical figures on top of his tomb representing the four kingdoms of Spain during Columbus’ life, Castille, Aragon, Navara and Leon. It was designed by the sculptor Arturo Melida. It was originally installed in Havana before being moved to Seville after Spain lost control of Cuba.

At the right side is a souvenir store, where you can buy souvenirs of all kinds from postcards to travel guides, fridge magnets, shirts, etc. At the left side a ceramic shop.

Guests, Tourists, as well as locals enjoy the friendly sunny weather in Seville during winter time. Since it has a subtropical climate, you can visit this city during winter season when the weather is not so hot.

Seville, like most Andalusian destinations, is known for its tapas. You can find a lot of tapas bars and restaurants around the foot of the cathedral in the center of town. There are also available seats outside especially when the weather is nice. You can find time to relax and chit-chat while enjoying a cup of coffee and a portion of tapas.
