Last few days in Seville. Decided to go for the private guided tour of the two major attractions, the Cathedral of Seville and the Real Alcazar Palace. Cecelia from Not Just a Tourist was our host for tours.

It was built by Castilian Christians on the site of an Abbadid Muslim residential fortress destroyed after the Christian conquest of Seville, after 500 years of Moorish rule. Fabulous gardens that extend farther than one can imagine.
Great history lesson from Cecelia on the build and rebuild of the Place, or many Palaces as it turns out. The change in rulers brought each owns take on the architecture of the day.
The Cathedral of Seville also known as The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See, is the largest gothic cathedral in the world and the 3rd largest cathedral in the world. It took over a hundred years to build on top the former Mosque. It houses the remains of Christopher Columbus and many other prominent Spanish saints, travellers and dignitaries. Very difficult to get photos that depict the sheer scale and drama of the church, but did my best
Very enjoyable to get an inside understanding of the historical importance of these two places.
