         		 Even the lamp posts are tiled!: by taylortreks, Views[286]
         		 Statues stand guard above the central towers.: by taylortreks, Views[298]
     
    There are 48 alcoves, one for each of the Spanish provinces.: by taylortreks, Views[314]
         		 To cap off the fabulous visit to the Plaza, we caught a rainbow in the spray of the central fountain.: by taylortreks, Views[272]
         		 Much like the Seville Cathedral, our initial view of the Plaza de España showed the immensity of the building.: by taylortreks, Views[181]
         		 As we saw throughout Seville, colorful tiles adorned the bell tower.: by taylortreks, Views[231]
         		 Tiles around the windows, too!: by taylortreks, Views[180]
     
    The building was an intriguing mixture of old and new, and it works well!: by taylortreks, Views[214]
         		 Closer inspection revealed intricate details, such as the veins on individual leaves.: by taylortreks, Views[192]
         		 Fearsome dragons protected one of the side entrances to the Plaza.: by taylortreks, Views[167]
         		 Restful gardens in Maria Luisa Park beckoned even before the advent of Spring.: by taylortreks, Views[216]
         		 And then we turned the corner... the full grandeur of the Plaza overwhelmed us.: by taylortreks, Views[168]
     
    Details upon details upon details on the South Tower.: by taylortreks, Views[159]
         		 The morning sun gave us a better view of the North Tower.: by taylortreks, Views[307]
         		 The Treasury holds just a fraction of the artworks that were brought back from the New World during the Spanish colonization.: by taylortreks, Views[198]
         		 The remains of Christopher Columbus (Cristóbal Colón in Spain) command a prominent location in the Cathedral.: by taylortreks, Views[250]
         		 Outside, in the Patio of the Oranges (trees), you get an excellent view of the Giralda Tower. We're going to climb that later.: by taylortreks, Views[208]
     
    This is the view from about ⅓ of the way up the Giralda. About this time Anna is wondering just what she got herself into...: by taylortreks, Views[208]
         		 Huff, huff, huff. A little further up. Puff, puff, puff. Why the heck are we doing this?: by taylortreks, Views[319]
         		 Anna is reaching for her asthma inhaler while Kent takes photos. We made it. Kent thinks the views are worth it. Anna has doubts...: by taylortreks, Views[312]
         		 We can clearly see the iconic Alamillo Bridge, built for the 1992 Expo.: by taylortreks, Views[320]
         		 Towers for churches throughout Seville's other districts were easily spotted.: by taylortreks, Views[251]
     
    There are 24 bells atop the Giralda. Supposedly one for each major church in Seville. Now we must race back down the Giralda to go get ready for the Flamenco show! Going down went a lot faster!: by taylortreks, Views[304]
         		 The Chapel of Saint Laurean shows the decorative iron fencing that protects the artwork in each of the many chapels.: by taylortreks, Views[218]
         		 The aptly named Silver Altar displays the beautiful masterpieces from Spanish artists.: by taylortreks, Views[153]
         		 Given the scale of the Cathedral, this organ would probably not fit in ordinary cathedrals!: by taylortreks, Views[171]
         		 This chapel took more than 80 years to complete. The detail is astonishing!: by taylortreks, Views[165]
     
    Look at the delicate work in each of the 32 gilded panels.: by taylortreks, Views[184]
         		 Saints Justa and Rufina were said to have protected the Giralda (tower) during the massive earthquake of 1755. This earthquake destroyed Lisbon, Portugal.: by taylortreks, Views[264]
         		 The introductory room held many superb pieces of art, like this painting of King Ferdinand. (We chose not to share the life-like sculpture of John the Baptist's head on a silver platter. EWWWW!): by taylortreks, Views[222]
         		 Upon entering the main part of the Cathedral, you're just gobsmacked by the immensity of it all. The size and grandeur... Wow.: by taylortreks, Views[234]
         		 Intricately carved ceilings soar to nearly 150 feet. And it's that way in the entire Cathedral!: by taylortreks, Views[230]
     
    Some paintings were complex and multi-hued to describe key events.: by taylortreks, Views[177]
         		 Other paintings were simple, yet remained powerfully emotive.: by taylortreks, Views[193]
         		 Some of the chapels had ornate plaster ceilings. Can you imagine the kind of talent, artistry, and patience it required to do something like this?: by taylortreks, Views[199]
         		 The same can be said of the wooden bas reliefs from the Middle Ages.: by taylortreks, Views[181]
         		 The Chapel of Saint Anthony has impressive sculptures overlooking its doorway.: by taylortreks, Views[213]
