On Sunday the cathedral opens at 14.30 but please check this because the entry system and timetable change frequently. Sunday is the only day when entrance to the cathedral is free. The entrance fee on other days is 7 Euro pp. The cathedral of Sevilla is after the Vatican in Rome and St. Pauls in London the largest in Europe. The amount of gold that is splattered around is unbelievable (see picture of the altar which is supposed to be covered in two tons of gold) and you wonder how many lives have been sacrificed to carve and decorate the huge vaulting.The tower is accesible for those who want to climb the somewhat 35 stairs or ramps really, since the knights used to climb these with their horses (so the story goes).  All the way in the top you get rewarded with an amazing view over the whole city
