Climbing the Catherdral



Today we left the doors of our apartment with no specific plans in mind. On the walk into the center of town we stopped for some cheap tapas and a look at the map.

We decided to climb to the top of the Seville Cathedral (the minaret). It is said to be the largest Gothic cathedral (although not all of it appears to be gothic architecture) and the third largest church in the world. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and also claims to be the burial site for Christopher Columbus.
       Facade of the Catherdral.

The Catherdal contains 80 chapels in which 500 masses were said daily in 1896.
 No excuses here for not making mass! 

The boys had fun taking photos and enjoying the art/architecture from different angles.

We then climbed the 35 ramps (no stairs because horses and donkeys won't make the climb down) to the balconey for a great view of Sevilla.


Afterwards, Mabret and Roman did a quick search of "fun" things to do in Sevilla. To their surprise, it ended up we found a hair salon and both boys got a quick clean up and cut.






Looking good gentlemen!


Peace out from Sevilla
