Default Re: Sevilla & Jabugo - The Quest for 5J

You can't visit the cathedral without going to the top of the 104.5m high Giralda. There are no stairs to climb - instead you'll find 35 inclining ramps, said to be wide enough to allow the passage of two mounted guards. Still, you have to go some 45m up to get to the top observation deck.

View to the east.



View to the north.



View to the west, with the Patio de los Naranjos visible below.



We actually forgot to take a picture of the view to the south - but managed one of the many bells having above.



After visiting the Giralda, we went down to see some more of the cathedral. The details are just mind-blowing.



A huge silver piece, part of the cathedral's treasure.



A typical narrow street in Sevilla - not easy to find street parking here
