This Seville Cathedral is also known as The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See. It is a must-to-see when visiting the capital city of the Andalusian region in Spain. It is located near the Alcazar Palace complex and together with the Cathedral, they are listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.

You have to put in mind that it is the largest Gothic Cathedral in the world. After St. Peter's in Rome and St. Paul's in London, It is also the third largest church in the world. If you have the chance to go inside, do it because its interior is really amazing. You can also find the remains of Christopher Columbus inside the Cathedral.
