Book Description

March 1999 The National Monuments of Spai
Erected in 1401 on a long-time site of worship, the Cathedral is one of Europe's most impressive buildings. When the canons demanded a new church "such and so well that it should have no equal, " construction was started in a style that is an architectural collage: primarily Gothic with elements of Visigothic and Almohade (Moorish) art.

The text traces the Cathedral's history from a 12th century mosque to its blessings in 1507. In addition, a "tour" of this magnificent structure is conducted with emphasis on its unusual architectural features.

4.0 out of 5 stars Architecture, April 3, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cathedral of Seville (The National Monuments of Spai) (Paperback)
This book is very helpful regarding architecture specifically; I would prefer more background to be included. Several times the author mentions long periods of time when construction of the cathedral was halted, but doesn't mention why. But, again, if it's simply the architecture of and the art within the cathedral, it adequately serves its purpose.
