Cathedral of Seville, Spain: Largest Cathedral Ever

Largest Catholic Cathedral in the World.

St. Peter's Church in the Vatican is technically not a cathedral but a basilica. And thus, the Cathedral in Seville, Spain stands as the largest Cathedral ever! The building is also known as Catedral de Santa María de la Sede (Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See).

This cathedral is absolutely marvelous. It is built in the gothic style (the largest gothic cathedral), however, it doesn't necessarily look like a typical tall,gothic church you might expect. It's grandeur is in its area--incredibly wide and long.
