About This Adventure

Explore the rich history of a UNESCO World Heritage site, where every wall tells a story. Discover the stunning Patio de los Naranjos, the iconic Giralda, and the magnificent Capilla Mayor retablo. This unforgettable journey through time immerses you in the architectural splendor and cultural legacy of a bygone era.

Desentrañaremos sus secretos, interpretando la historia que nos relatan sus muros, su decoración y lo que conlleva, tratándose de un edificio reconocido como Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad desde el año 1987 junto con los Reales Alcázares y el Archivo de Indias. Todo un lujo entre cuyas paredes podréis vivir en primera persona el entorno en el que se han vivido algunas escenas para el recuerdo en la historia.

Nos adentraremos en el Patio de los Naranjos, que mantiene la estructura del califato almohade del año 1163. El antiguo minarete es ahora la conocida Giralda; Hernán Ruiz sería el encargado ya en el siglo XVI de modificar la parte superior para emplearlo como campanario, conservando igualmente arcos califales. Sobre la torre, el Giraldillo observa la ciudad como representación de la fe y la victoria. Prepárese también para admirar el retablo de la Capilla Mayor, uno de los más grandes del mundo. El coro y la sillería de estilo gótico-mudéjar completan el conjunto de sus 68 bóvedas de crucería. Una visita histórica e inolvidable.
