Highlights covered on your Seville Cathedral tour
Royal Chapel
Added to the cathedral in the 16th century, Capilla Real or the Royal Chapel is a Renaissance-style structure placed right behind the Great Chapel featuring royal tombs and two altars. One altar is home to a silver shrine that consists of the relics of Saint Ferdinand while the other features a 13th-century figure of the Patron Saint of Seville, the Virgin of the Kings, holding a 22-carat gold crown with almost 12,000 precious stones on his head.
Tomb of Christopher Columbus
Installed inside the cathedral in 1899, the tomb of Christopher Columbus was designed by Arturo Melida and is held high up by four allegorical figures that represent the four kingdoms (Castile, Navaro, Leon, and Aragon) of Spain, which existed at the time of Columbus and where he spent his life. A monument inside the Seville Cathedral door is the final resting place of the remains of Columbus. They were shifted to different locations before finding a permanent home at the cathedral.
Tomb of Christopher Columbus
Capilla Mayor
Known for housing the richest and largest altarpiece in the world, Capilla Mayor or the Great Chapel consists of the main chapel along with several other side chapels, a choir, and 15 doors. The altarpiece, which features 45 beautifully carved scenes from the Bible, is made of polychrome wood and gold and is placed opposite the choir. The scenes depict events from the life of Christ and Santa Maria de la Sede, the patron saint of Seville Cathedral.Â
Chapter House
A Spanish Renaissance addition to the Seville Cathedral, the Chapter House was built in the 16th century right next to the Main Sacristy. Also known as the Capitular, the Chapter House is home to several beautiful paintings and artworks of Murillo. It is known for its magnificent domed ceiling that reflects the stunning marble floor. The Chapter House was built to listen to the problems of the members and arrive at a resolution that would be agreeable to everyone.
Door of Forgiveness
Also known as Puerta del Perdon, the Door of Forgiveness is located in the North Façade of Seville Cathedral and provides access to the Patio de los Naranjos (orange tree courtyard) from Calle Almanes. Originally built as the entrance to the Almohad Mosque, the Door of Forgiveness has retained its shape of a horseshoe arch and several other Islamic architectural elements like the intricate carvings and inscriptions from the Quran on the iron door. The door, which is now used as an exit from the cathedral, was embellished with terracotta sculptures and plaster ornaments in the 16th century.
Colombiana Library
Located on the west side of the Patio de los Naranjos, the Colombiana Library houses over 6000 copies of rare books, 940 incunabula, and manuscripts on the discovery of America. Several of these manuscripts have been written by Christopher Columbus himself. Fernando Colon, a known scholar and second son of Columbus, inherited his father’s personal library after his death and bought books to enrich it. The library, as of today, contains books on Columbus’ interests and explorations. It is maintained by Seville Cathedral and is accessible to students, scholars, and book lovers.
Main Sacristy
Accessible from the antechambers of the Capilla Mayor on the south side of Seville Cathedral, Sacristia Mayor or the Main Sacristy is a Renaissance-style museum displaying the Montanes crucifix and several magnificent and iconic artworks by celebrated Spanish artists like Francisco de Goya, Bartolome Esteban Murillo, Luis de Morales, Campana, Zurbaran, and others. Also, find many beautifully- crafted liturgical items made of gold, silver, and other precious metals. The ceiling of the dome depicts scenes from The Last Judgment while the interiors feature arched doors, sculptural reliefs and a beautiful oil painting called Descent from the Cross.
The Tabernacle
The Baroque-style Tabernacle Church inside Seville Cathedral is a temple and a place of worship for Catholics. A heritage treasure inside the church comprises artist Juan Martinez Montanes’ carving of Jesus when he was a child. It also features Christ’s crown of thorns.
Office Pavilion
Built between the 18th and 20th centuries, the Office Pavilion is a Neoclassical addition to the cathedral featuring a series of offices and museums that were constructed because the then-existing rental units, barns, and warehouses were in a dilapidated condition. The pillars that make up the interiors of the new rooms inside the Office Pavilion are made using mortar. The arches were built to make the walls and the rooms more stable and secure.
Patio de los Naranjos
Also known as the Orange Tree Courtyard, the Patio de los Naranjos was retained from the Almohad Mosque and is lined with beautiful orange, palm, and cypress trees. The Moorish-style courtyard was originally the prayer hall of the mosque. The courtyard, as we know it today, also features a large fountain from the Visigoth Period built on the site of the Sabil, an area where Muslims performed ritual ablutions before entering the mosque. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a tiring tour.
La Giralda
Formerly the minaret of the Great Mosque during the rule of the Almohad dynasty, La Giralda is now the bell tower of Seville Cathedral and is also one of the most important symbols of the medieval city of Andalusia in Spain. Standing tall at 104.5 meters, the Giralda Tower was redesigned with a Renaissance-style top added to it after the Almohad Mosque was converted into the cathedral.
The bells are rung to call people for mass and during religious events and festivals. Admire the Renaissance architecture of the tower and soak in the stunning panoramic views of Seville from the top.

You can’t go to Seville without visiting the stunning Gothic cathedral—the largest in the world—and climbing to the top of the Giralda. There are always tons of tourists, but with the skip-the-line tickets I bought on Headout, everything was much easier and faster. I highly recommend this app.

Our guide Guylaine's enthusiasm and energy! The anecdotes about Isabella of Castile, as well as the many photos she shared with us to illustrate her points, were particularly interesting.
I now know the difference between private and public spaces! I also liked the explanations about the two cultures, Christian and Muslim, which have put their artistic skills at the service of aesthetics. A spirit of tolerance 🙏
