Cathedral and Carmona

These are pictures of 2 events: The first few are from a field trip with my professor to Sevilla´s cathedral, named Giralda, the third largest in the world. We walked to the top of the belltower and looked out over the city. Interesting fact: it used to be a Muslim tower, and since the call to prayer was 5 times a day, they took it easy on the bellringer guy by constructing the path up the tower with ramps, not stairs, so he could ride a horse the whole way. The next set of pictures are in Carmona, a small city where we took a day trip to sightsee and walk around this past Saturday.
