Seville Cathedral
|
Ceiling at the crossing
|
Largest altar in Christendom; I wonder if the
people of Peru or Mexico would like to have
some of their gold back
|
Silver (spare) altar piece; 3,500 lbs.
|
Moorish depiction of the Giralda, as it was
before the reconquista
|
The huge choir blocks any possible view
from one end to the other; can't let the
common people see what's going on on the
other side....
|
The poorly-lit Big Attraction...the tomb of Cristobal Colon,
who sailed the ocean blue, in 1492; now what do you think
of that?
|
Ceiling of one of the side chapels
|
Column in side chapel depicting agonies of hell...
something we always look for
|
The cloisters, now sort of an orangerie, but was originally
the ablution court for the mosque; Moorish irrigation bricks
still in place
