Seville pt. 6 Cathedral y Plaza de Pilatas

Seville Cathedral is a world heritage site and like the Mesquita in Cordoba was built over an existing mosque. The cathedral covers 11,520 square metres in floor space and the nave rises to 42 metres high. The cathedral houses the tomb of Christopher Columbus since he was moved back to Spain from Cuba.










Casa de Pilatas is a private palace that local legend says is built to the dimensions of Pontius Pilate's house in Jerusalem. The House is built in the Mudejar style and has fantastic courtyards gardens full of my favourite Brugmancias.
