One Lifetime, One Piece of Artwork in Seville


(if you want the piece bigger to see it click on it twice-
once it will go to a screen and another one will enlarge it)

This piece was done by one man his entire life. It uses up all the gold surrounding this area. Tons and tons of metal and precious stones. The only other ones bigger in size (not volume) is St. Peter's in Rome and St. Paul's in London.


Detailed and massive in the Seville Cathedral. It is a Gothic Cathedral that is the third largest in the world. Christopher Columbus is also buried in this church. I didn't get a really good shot but this is the best one I have of his tomb.


Without Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand II of Spain, we wouldn't have discovered the Caribbean and West Indies. They financially supported the endeavor of Christopher Columbus to explore on 4 separate occasions.
