10 Churches & Cathedrals in Seville That You Shouldn't Miss
Originally founded as a Roman city and now home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Seville is bursting with antique charm. The Alcazar palace complex is a stunning collage of architectural styles, and the Cathedral will impress you with its beauty and its status as the burial site of Christopher Columbus. The Metropol Parasol is the world’s largest wooden structure, a massive mix of grids and swirls that contains a market and a terrace observatory.

This is THE site to visit when in Sevilla. Absolutely enormous, the largest gothic cathedral in the world consists of the main cathedral, many chapels, a small treasury and many memorials plus the converted bell tower. When busy, it’s much better to have purchased tickets in advance or be prepared to wait in long lines to hope to buy a ticket. It takes 2 1/2 - 3 hours to visit everything while stopping to enjoy the varied architecture. A Columbus is buried here so some come to see that. The organ has four banks with over 7000 pipes and can be heard at specific times during the week. Fantastic piece of history. Cheers!
3. Iglesia de San Esteban

4.5 based on 30 reviews
Mudéjar-style church from the late 14th century is richly decorated inside. The most outstanding feature is the series of Zurbarán paintings that line the walls of the main chapel. Ornamental plasterwork in the sacramental chapel and the 16th century glazed tiling on the front of the high altar table is a fine examples from this period. A famous seated sculpture of Our Father Jesus of Health and Travel is located in one of the side chapels with a window onto the street.

The title of the review was taken from the free guide to the chuirch and I certainly couldn't disagree with it! I visited this church in the morning (after visiting the cathedral the previous afternoon) and what a difference; the interior is cool with few visitors and the free guide leaflet and information boards dotted around are very good. The altarpieces are stunning and although I am not the slightest bit religious, you cannot help but be overawed by the craftmanship and quality of the decoration. To describe the various altarpieces would take too long but the highlights for me was the St Christopher statue in painted wood dating from 1597 and the flying angels on the main altarpiece, holding the lamps! It is a place to sit and marvel at the decoration. There are very good restrooms as well and don't forget to visit the High and Low sacristies which contain interesting religious exhibits. The Orange Tree Court didn't appear to be open when I visited. The combined ticket covers both the admission to the cathedral and San Salvador - for my money, this church is by far the better of the two!

Having visited some of the more popular ecclesiastical buildings. Sneaking past the leather door guard was a real treat. It is a chapel, the inside of which I found more interesting than the cathedral.
