Called an 'open air museum' by many, Seville is full of historic monuments, churches, parks and palm gardens, remnants of many different cultures.
One of the city's most famous buildings is the Cathedral Maria de la Sede, the largest church building in Europe after St Peter's in Rome and St Paul's Cathedral in London, and the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. The symbol of the city, the "Giralda", is part of it. This 96 meter high bell tower was originally a Moorish minaret, once the highest in the world. Legend has it that no taller buildings are allowed to be built in Seville. In 2011 there was controversy about building plans in La Cartuja, where the first building to rise higher than La Giralda will be.
