La Giralda Tower, Seville Cathedral and Alcazar combine to form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tower is a sub-tower, a "masterpiece of Almohad architecture," according to UNESCO. The church has a larger interior space than St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, and the main altar is 37 meters high of statues carved entirely in gold.
Christopher Columbus' monumental tomb is supported by a quartet of larger-than-life figures. La Giralda, the symbol of Seville, began life as a minaret and is all that remains of the city's Grand Mosque, demolished for the construction of the cathedral.
Alcazar opposition was begun by the Moors in 712 and continued after the Christian reconquest by King Pedro in the 1300s in the ornate neo-Moorish style known as the Mudejar. The rooms and salons are stunningly beautiful, and the gardens are a joy to stroll, lined with fragrant orange and lemon trees. Adjacent to the east is Santa Cruz, the former Juderia (Jewish Quarter), a neighborhood of whitewashed houses, iron balconies, and flower-filled courtyards.
