About this experience
To see the largest Gothic cathedral in Europe, to touch its main treasures and masterpieces, to unravel the secrets are the dreams of many travelers. I invite you to immerse yourself in this exciting adventure without long queues and ticket buying difficulties. The tomb of the navigator, Flemish tapestries, and the keys to the city are just a few of the 'treasures' we will encounter on our way.
What to expect
Seville Cathedral and its main relics
We will start the walk from the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, built under the slogan 'So that descendants call us crazy'. At the entrance to the orange courtyard, you will learn why a crocodile dummy is one of the temple's symbols, and also unravel the secret of the sundials adorning the outer walls and the 95-meter tower. Near the main altar of the cathedral, I will tell you about the last Bourbon wedding, and near the organs, we will touch on the subject of numerous earthquakes and their consequences. We will see the burials of Columbus and his son, thoroughly 'examine' the bones of the official colonizer of the 'New World'. In the treasury, you will see not only treasures, icons, but also the key to the city from the time of Moorish rule in Seville. You can also climb the bell tower, visit the souvenir shop, and the Cathedral Museum.
Life and habits of kings
Then we will head to the Royal Palace, where ruling dynasties of Seville and Spain lived: from the Moorish Almohads to the Spanish Bourbons. You will visit the halls with fans, and at the main facade of the palace, we will talk about the unique Andalusian style and visit the 'paradise' made by order of the 14th-century kings, see where the monarchs slept, where the princes and princesses played, whom the nobility prayed and worshipped. In the hall with Flemish tapestries, we will talk about past glory: 27 crowns of Charles V and the country where the sun never set.
After the walk, you can stroll through the gardens, go up to the colonnade, or return to the palace halls. The price includes audio systems that allow you to not miss any detail in the guide's story, leisurely take photos, and the history of Seville will sound throughout the entire tour without silent pauses during transitions.
