Well if I had thought that the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Mar in Barcelona was amazing, then I was seriously mistaken because the Cathedral in Sevilla was magnificent! I have never seen such a decorated church outside and in. Each part of the church was fully embellished by each family that owned each chapel inside. Wood carvings, gold detailing, paintings, sculptures – each square inch is covered in decoration and because of this, the whole interior was one enormous art museum. It took a little over 100 years to complete from start to finish in the 15th Century and my guidebook told us that it is THE largest church in all of the world as stated in the Guinness Book of World Records. Another reason this cathedral was so wonderful was that you could climb up the steep walkway around and around to get to the top of the bell tower and see a beautiful white-washed Sevilla city down below.
