Passing through the Door of the Conception started our introduction to the interior of Cathedral of Seville. We were touring the interior of the cathedral. The interior of the cathedral was vast. It was high! The columns were arching. The patterns on the ceiling were intricate and well-adorned. The was only the start.
Gated and locked chapels were lining the periphery of Cathedral of Seville. Each one was on varying state of upkeep. The better ones looking really nice. The ones with less upkeep were looking really old. We learned during the tour that building and keeping the chapels was a privilege of wealthy families in the past. Some chapels have been with the same families for generations.

There were a lot of artifacts and objects in the Cathedral of Seville that held special purposes. Each one was treasured and cherished at one point in time. We looking with amazement at these objects. Our imagination kept us wondering how these looked like during its heyday.
I would say that I was needing more time to spend in the cathedral. More time to absorb all the information. More time to appreciate the significance of each wall, ceiling, adornment, object, and artifact. There was so much with so little time to dwell in it.
