Main Chapel (Capilla Mayor) Beyond the choir area of the main transept is the monumental Capilla Mayor, with its inspiring vaulted ceiling rising to a height of 36 meters. The chapel's glittering main altarpiece is the first thing to catch the visitor's eye. A masterpiece of Gothic woodcarving, this massive 20-meter-high retablo features the Virgen de la Sede surrounded by 45 scenes from the Life of Christ and the Life of the Virgin. This dazzling altarpiece is gilded with real gold brought back from the Americas; it's a testimony to the rich heritage of the cathedral, which was built during the Age of Discovery (also the Golden Age of Spain), when Christopher Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, first to the islands of the Bahamas in the Caribbean and then to Central America. Seville Cathedral (Catedral de Sevilla) A symbol of the Christian Reconquest over the Moors, the cathedral was constructed between 1402 and 1506 on the site of the town's 12th-century Great Mosque. The cathedral has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reflecting its cultural and historic importance.
