Seville, Spain
Seville
Cathedral aka the Cathedral
of Saint Mary of the See
is the largest Gothic cathedral and the third-largest church in the
world. It is also the largest cathedral in the world, as the two
larger churches, the Basilica
of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida
and St
Peter's Basilica,
are not the seats of bishops.
The
cathedral contains the most incredible, most remarkable altarpiece.
Carved from wood and covered in huge amounts of gold are 45 scenes
from the life of Christ. This masterpiece was the life work of
Flemish artist, Pieter
Dancart.
The
cathedral is also the burial site of Christopher Columbus.
It
is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
