#EuropeTravel 📍Seville Cathedral Av. de la Constitución, s/n, Casco Antiguo, 41004 Sevilla, Spain When I visited Spain, I went to Seville. The cathedral was so beautiful that I thought it was the first thing to think of Seville. It was especially beautiful during the day and at night. It was my second time in Seville, and I was lucky enough to stay at a hotel near the cathedral, which made the morning and evening so pleasant and beautiful. #SpainTravel #SevilleTravel #SevilleCathedral

#July Travel Support Fund The Alcazar of Seville was not a walk through history, but an experience where history quietly embraced me. When I reached the courtyard (Patio de las Doncellas) beyond the white pillars, I was speechless. The shallow water cut through the center of the garden, and the patterns reflected on it gave the illusion of time flowing. This was a space to walk in silence. No words were needed. The garden that led to the back was another world. The tall trees and symmetrical paths, the scent of oranges and the sounds of birds from afar, and the sound of a quietly flowing fountain. When I climbed up the small tower in the garden and looked down at the city, I felt like I was the owner of this palace for that moment. After walking for a long time, I was suddenly surprised that all of this was a real space. The sentences I had seen in books, the scenes I had only known from pictures, all of them were alive now, under my feet. #SpainTravel #SevilleTravel

#JulyTravelSupport This beautiful tower standing tall on one side of the Seville Cathedral is more than just a bell tower. **La Giralda** is the symbol of Seville, a monument to the times and a work of art where two cultures, Islam and Christianity, are layered. Originally, this tower was **a minaret of a mosque** built by the Almohad dynasty in the 12th century. At the time, this tower was the tallest in Andalusia, and its beauty and structure were preserved even after the conquest, and in the early 16th century, a Renaissance-style bell tower was added, completing the appearance we see today. The name Giralda comes from the weather vane statue **‘Giralillo’** on top, and the impressive sight of this statue rotating according to the direction of the wind is impressive. #Seville #SevillaTravel
