This beautiful church is located in Triana next to the Guadalquivir and is the oldest in the city. It is a church of three ships, in Gothic style; the centre is taller and wider than the lateral plant, divided into five sections each. A funny fact: they say that the woman that kicks it seven times is sure of marriage.

It is headquarter to the Brotherhood of la O one of the most active ones during the Holy Week in Seville.

Constructed in 1401, World Heritage Site in 1978 and Well of Outstanding Universal Value in 2010, this cathedral is the Christian gothic cathedral with the greatest surface in world. As most of the churches in Seville and Andalusia it is constructed on the ruins of a demolished mosque. The temple houses the remains of Christopher Columbus and of several kings of Castile: Pedro I el Cruel, Fernando III el Santo and his son, Alfonso X el Sabio. Apart from its great facade and gorgeous interior with its 5 ships in gothic style, the courtyard with orange trees and obviously the Giralda will amaze you. Its 104 meters of pure elegance and beauty that you have probably already seen in photographs will leave you with an open mouth.
