It's a monster, the world's biggest Gothic cathedral and third-biggest cathedral by volume of any kind. And it's elaborately beautiful, both inside and out.
I don't like to dump a bunch of photos on my readers. This time, after the jump, I'm going to do it anyway.
Another shot of the outside:
The main altarpiece:
How many stories tall is that sucker? Four? Five?
The ceiling from nave to apse:
Two more shots looking up:
Altarpieces of a couple of chapels:
Bronze sculpture of warriors representing four Spanish kingdoms holding up a sarcophagus containing 20% of the bones of Christopher Columbus:
The city doesn't seem ashamed of Columbus...
As if visiting the Seville Cathedral wasn't a sufficient feast of eye candy, next our tour guide took us to the nearby Alcazar.
