Sights of Seville

Both Dave & I agree that that this city is jaw-dropping.  Around every turn are architecturally beautiful buildings, churches, plazas, towers and works of art.  Many shopping side streets are pedestrian only, and public transportation (which we haven’t had to use yet) abounds.

AGAIN the young ladies ask Dave to take their photo.  What’s up with this?

Oh, if I could only reach them.

The Golden Tower (borrowed photo), an example of Moorish architecture, was build as a defense tower in the 12th century and now houses a naval museum.  We visited the museum, and were able to climbed to the roof – not the top tower – where the next photo was taken from.

The Giralda Tower and the “Cathedral”, which is the largest Gothic temple in the world and third largest Christian church in the world.  We’re touring it today so will do a separate post.  Pretty impressive! – Laura
