La Giralda, the bell tower of the Cathedral of Seville, Spain, one of the largest churches in the world and an amazing example of Almohad architecture


Seville - The Giralda and some oranges by Andrea Mazzocchetti Detail of the Giralda, the bell tower of the Cathedral of Seville, the largest Gothic cathedral and the third-largest church in the world. It is also the largest cathedral in the world, as the two larger churches, the Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida and St Peter's Basilica, are not the seats of bishops. It was registered in 1987 by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, along with the Alcazar palace complex and the General Archive of the Indies.
