Tour of the Alcázar and the Cathedral of Seville
Seville boasts two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the same square. The Cathedral was built in the 15th century on the site of the former Almohad mosque, and the Royal Alcázar, right next door, is a palace commissioned by the Castilian kings from Muslim artisans after the conquest of the city. Both share the Plaza del Triunfo and together tell a thousand years of Seville’s history.
In three hours, with an official guide, you can visit both monuments without queuing, with entrance fees included and organized access from the meeting point.

Detailed information about the visit
ITINERARIO DEL TOUR POR LA CATEDRAL Y EL REAL ALCÁZAR DE SEVILLA
La visita a la Catedral empieza en el Patio de los Naranjos, el patio de la antigua mezquita que hubo antes en este mismo lugar. Cuando entras al interior, lo primero que notas es la escala del edificio: es la catedral gótica
con mayor superficie del mundo. Las naves tienen una altura que cuesta procesar hasta que llevas un rato dentro.
El recorrido pasa por el Retablo Mayor, una pieza de más de cuarenta metros tallada en madera con escenas del Evangelio que los constructores del siglo XV diseñaron para que cualquier persona, supiera o no leer, entendiera la historia. Justo al lado está el Coro, con la sillería tallada a finales del siglo XV y los dos grandes órganos flanqueando la entrada. Uno de los puntos que más llama la atención es la tumba de Cristóbal Colón, sostenida por cuatro figuras que representan los reinos de España, con una historia detrás que tiene más vueltas de las que parece. El recorrido termina por las sacristías, donde se conservan pinturas de Murillo y Goya junto con el tesoro de la Catedral..
Desde la Catedral el recorrido continúa al Real Alcázar. La entrada es por el Patio de la Montería, desde donde se distribuye el resto del conjunto. Primero se pasa por la Casa de la Contratación, las estancias donde los
Reyes Católicos gestionaron durante más de dos siglos todo el comercio con América. Después se entra en el Palacio de Pedro I, la zona más elaborada del conjunto, con el Patio de las Doncellas y el Salón de Embajadores, cuya cúpula de mocárabes dorados es una de las más complejas que se conservan en España. El recorrido continúa por el Palacio Gótico antes de terminar en los jardines, un espacio que los distintos monarcas fueron ampliando desde el siglo XVI y que incluye el Estanque de Mercurio y la Galería del
Grutesco.
