This Cathedral was built to cover the land previously occupied by an Almohad Mosque in the XII Century.
From this Mosque, only its minaret, the Giralda, has arrived to our days.
The Construction started in 1401 and took almost a century. It is a Gothic temple in which architects tried to mix austerity with severity. It was converted to the Christian religion, after Fernando III´ s conquest in 1248.
During its construction, it passed through, Mudejar, Gothic, Renaissance, Barroque and Neoclassic Periods.
