The Cathedral's facade is a magnificent master piece. Inside, the magic continues, from the golden altar to the Giralda's tower. The Cathedral houses the tomb of the most famous explorer, Christopher Columbus (english), Cristobal Colón (spanish), Cristoforo Colombo (italian) and Cristovão Colombo (portuguese).

Must see!

Begin your ascent by entering the tower near the backwall via the catherdral. I have 2 words for Ladies and Gents alike "Comfortable Shoes". My friend and I did not plan on visiting the cathedral on the day we went so I has heels on. To make a long story short I broke a shoe. The climb is not strenuous... more
