EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1903, showcases the breathtaking view of Seville's most iconic landmarks: The Cathedral and the Giralda Bell Tower. Located in the heart of Seville, the capital city of Andalusia, southern Spain, these architectural wonders have stood the test of time, reflecting the rich cultural history of the region. The Seville Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of the Holy Savior, is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its intricate facade, adorned with sculptures and gargoyles, is a feast for the eyes. The cathedral's construction began in 1434 and took over two centuries to complete, showcasing the dedication and craftsmanship of the artisans of the time. The Giralda Bell Tower, once a minaret during the Moorish Almohad period, is a symbol of Seville's multicultural heritage. Its distinctive shape, with its tapering design and red and white stripes, can be seen from miles away. Climbing the tower's 35 ramps offers visitors a panoramic view of the city, making it a must-visit destination for tourists. In the foreground of the photograph, a horse-drawn tram adds a touch of nostalgia, transporting us back to a time when the streets of Seville were filled with the sounds and smells of a bygone era. The photograph captures the essence of Seville's past and present, making it a timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire and captivate viewers.
