La Giralda Tower...the Bell Tower
Some of the many bells at the top of the tower...34 floor up!

The nave of the church
love love love gothic architecture :)
This was the entrance to one of the small side chapels
the rose window
This was the amazing alter piece. it is carved from wood and coated in gold leaf. It has 45 scenes carved depicting the life of Christ starting with the nativity in the bottom right to the Crusifiction in the upper center continuing on with scenes from the Resurrection. It is the largest alterpiece in the world, pretty amazing, the picture doesn't do it justice.
The tomb of Christopher Columbus...sorry the pic is blurry but it is the only one I had of it from the front. This corner of the church was actually pretty dark so my hand wasn't steady enough to hold the camera still while the lens was open.
