Catedral de Sevilla
When it came to first impressions, the inside of Seville’s sprawling cathedral left me cold. I saw gloom and scaffolding, dust and darkness, while the dreams and shadows of the Spanish Inquisition lurked behind locked gates and doors.
Outside, it’s completely different. Sunshine, oranges, fountains and fresh air mingle with the chatter of horses’ hooves on the stony streets.
The Cathedral of Seville is the third largest in Europe (and the largest in the world by volume, as any local will immediately inform you.) It forms the focus for the annual Semana Santa processions, apparently holds the body of Christopher Columbus and offers a rooftop view of the city from the top of its legendary Giralda tower.
On the outside, I love it. Yet inside…
I decided it was time to take a second look. To search for something beautiful, inspiring, provocative or unusual.
So, for this week’s Photo Friday, I bring you art from inside Seville’s Cathedral. Let me know what you think…

Hi, I'm Abi, a journalist who swapped a career as a doctor for a life on the road. 
Love Seville’s cathedral – I had the pleasure of visiting it last year. I especially loved being able to walk up to the top of the tower. Great photos!
Thank you…I love the outside. Still not sure about the inside…
