Brief Description
"Together these three buildings form a remarkable monumental complex in the heart of Seville. The cathedral and the Alcázar – dating from the Reconquest of 1248 to the 16th century and imbued with Moorish influences – are an exceptional testimony to the civilization of the Almohads as well as that of Christian Andalusia. The Giralda minaret is the masterpiece of Almohad architecture. It stands next to the cathedral with its five naves; the largest Gothic building in Europe, it houses the tomb of Christopher Columbus. The ancient Lonja, which became the Archivo de Indias, contains valuable documents from the archives of the colonies in the Americas."
塞维利亚的大教堂、城堡和西印度群岛档案馆
"位于塞维利亚中心的三座建筑——大教堂、城堡和西印度群岛档案馆——共同组成了非凡的古迹建筑群。大教堂和城堡的历史可以 追溯到收复领土的1248年至公元16世纪间，这两个建筑受到了摩尔人风格的影响，同时，它们也是阿尔默哈德文明和信奉基督教的安达卢西亚文明的历史见 证。西拉尔达大寺院是阿尔默哈德时代的建筑杰作，在它旁边是塞维利亚大教堂，该大教堂共有五个大殿，是欧洲最大的哥特式建筑，教堂中存放着克里斯托弗·哥 伦布的棺墓。西印度群岛档案馆由一个拍卖厅改建而成，馆中存放着早期殖民者发现美洲时的宝贵档案文献。"
