Seville's cathedral

Apparently this is the biggest cathedral in the world... by volume (St Peter's being bigger by area). Being the biggest by volume will come in handy if people get really tall... or if they most Catholics train as acrobats and get around by standing on the shoulders of others. It will also be handy if one day they want to convert the cathedral into a grain store. Otherwise, I really don't see the advantage.

If you visit, definitely make the climb to the top of the bell town - great views of Seville plus you can check out the cathedral roof (quite interesting).



Tomb of Christopher Columbus


"The Lizard" and an elephant tusk, gifts from some Sultan who wanted to marry the King's daughter. Seems quite a fair deal.


Some sculptures outside the cathedral
