Cathédrale et ancienne mosquée

Av. de la Constitución, s/n, 41004 Seville

+20

If you stand near Seville Cathedral, right at the main entrance to its courtyard (the Patio de los Naranjos, or Orange Courtyard), you'll see what was once the main gate to the 11th-century great mosque. This door, known as Puerta del Perdón (Forgiveness Door), is the only part still standing —aside from the ablution yard and the minaret (the famous Giralda). Today, the Cathedral is recognized as the largest Gothic temple in Europe and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

4 things you'll love about Cathedral & old mosque

An ablutions 'patio' with oranges

The east and north galleries and the cistern, a large tank for storing water, have been preserved. The arches help you to imagine the prayer room. The presence of orange trees in the Andalusi mosques started in Cordoba, 'imported' from Syria.

The Forgiveness Door

That is what Puerta del Perdón means, the only one that remains of the Almohad mosque. The door retains the original coating of carved bronze sheet. The large knockers are copies of the original Almohad, kept in the Cathedral museum.

The disputed body of Columbus

The tomb of Christopher Columbus is in the Cathedral of Seville since 1899. For many years the Dominican Republic said that the explorer of America was buried in its soil. Finally, in 2006, a DNA test ended the dispute in favor of Seville.

Searching the Ummayad mosque

The first great mosque of Isbiliya was an Ummayad Mosque of ibn Adabbas. It was where today is the Salvador Church (500 meters from the Almohad mosque and current Cathedral). The alminar and the ablutions courtyard are still preserved.
