The Super Combo Cathedral and Alcázar of Seville combines priority access to Seville's two greatest and most magnificent historic monuments in a single extraordinary day — the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and the most beautiful surviving Mudéjar royal palace in Spain. Together these two UNESCO World Heritage sites represent the full spectrum of Seville's extraordinary historical heritage — the Cathedral's Christian monumental ambition rising above the site of a great Moorish mosque, and the Alcázar's Islamic-influenced decorative magnificence demonstrating the cultural synthesis that produced Spain's most distinctive architectural tradition.
Seville Cathedral — constructed between 1401 and 1506 on the site of the city's former mosque, whose minaret survives as the famous Giralda bell tower — is the burial place of Christopher Columbus and houses one of the richest collections of religious art and decorative treasure in the Catholic world. The Alcázar's extraordinary sequence of courtyards, halls, and gardens — each layer of construction adding a new architectural language to a complex that spans Almohad, Mudéjar, Gothic, and Renaissance periods — provides an equally rich and rewarding cultural encounter that together with the Cathedral delivers the most complete possible immersion in Seville's exceptional historical legacy.
