It is the third-largest church in the world and the largest cathedral in the world. 

One of the best ways to get to know the history of Seville is through a three-hour guided tour of the Cathedral. Travellers will visit the famous Alcázar, an old Moorish fortress and stroll around the Barrio de Santa Cruz, Seville’s historical Jewish quarter.
