Giralda Tower and Cathedral in Seville in Andalucia Spain. Seville is the cultural, and financial capital of southern Spain
The Cathedral of Seville was built from 1401–1519 on the former site of the city's mosque. It is amongst the largest of all medieval and Gothic cathedrals, in terms of both area and volume. The interior is the longest nave in Spain, and is lavishly decorated, with a large quantity of gold evident. The Cathedral reused some columns and elements from the mosque, and, most famously, the Giralda, originally a minaret, was converted into a bell tower. It is topped with a statue, known locally as El Giraldillo, representing Faith. It contains the tomb of Christopher Columbus who in 1492 is credited with discovering America
