Kids’voyage’s special treats
The Cathedral and the Giralda
Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, Seville’s cathedral required more than a century to build…but the result is worth it! First a mosque, it was transformed into a cathedral and richly decorated thanks to, among other things, the gold that was brought back from the Americas by Christopher Columbus. The tomb of this famous explorer is now kept in this cathedral.
