The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See, better known as Seville Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Seville, Andalusia, Spain. It was registered in 1987 by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, along with the adjoining Alcázar palace complex and the General Archive of the Indies. It is the fourth-largest church in the world as well as the largest Gothic church. The Giralda is the bell tower of the Cathedral of Seville and the former minaret of the mosque that stood on the site under Muslim rule, and was built to resemble the minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech. It was converted into a bell tower for the cathedral after the Reconquista.
Thanks for this great card Szilvi!
