Seville Cathedral
The
Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See
, better known as
Seville Cathedral
, is a
Roman Catholic
cathedral
in
Seville
(
Andalusia
,
Spain
). It is the largest
Gothic
cathedral and the
third-largest
church in the world. It is also the largest cathedral in the world, as the two larger churches, the
Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida
and
St Peter's Basilica
, are not the seats of bishops. It was registered in 1987 by
UNESCO
as a
World Heritage Site
, along with the
Alcázar palace complex
and the
General Archive of the Indies
. "See" refers to the
Episcopal see
, i.e., the bishop's ecclesiastical jurisdiction.
