Historical Sites of Sevilla: The Sevilla Cathedral and La Giralda

David’s Been Here is in Sevilla, Spain, where the beautiful 12^th Century La Giralda stands. One of the three remaining Almohad minarets in the world, this beautiful tower was converted from a minaret (mosque spire) into a bell tower when Spain re-conquered the Iberian Peninsula. Now part of Sevilla’s main cathedral, this beautiful, ancient tower is loaded with historical significance, and is a must visit for all those touring the Andalusian city of Sevilla.
