Seville Cathedral Interior: A Selection
A closer look at the Capilla Mayor. There are over 30 biblical scenes depicted here. Not easy to see the details from far away!
A burst of color to the other ochre interior.
A huge retable (Capilla Mayor) which depicts 36 scenes from the Old Testament and the life of Chris. This piece of art took over 40 years in the making!
Stained glass window and detailed masonry work.
A gothic looking interior wall flanked by sculptures of trumpeting angels.
The choir room. The stalls look appropriately gothic as well.
The huge organ of the cathedral. Performances are still being conducted here.
Beautiful arches, alternating between dark and light.
High arches, vaulted ceilings amidst a warm yellow hue – even the interior looks gothic.
