The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See (Spanish: Catedral de Santa María de la Sede), better known as Seville Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Seville ( Andalusia, Spain ). It was registered in 1987 by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, along with the adjoining Alcázar palace complex and the General Archive of the Indies. "See" refers to the episcopal see, i.e., the bishop 's ecclesiastical jurisdiction. It is the third-largest church in the world (its size remains a matter of debate) as well as the largest Gothic church.After its completion in the early 16th century, Seville Cathedral supplanted Hagia Sophia as the largest cathedral in the world, a title the Byzantine church had held for nearly a thousand years. The total area occupied by the building is 23,500 square metres (253,000 sq ft). The Gothic section alone has a length of 126 metres (413 ft), a width of 83 metres (272 ft) and its maximum height in the center of the transept is 37 metres (121 ft). The total height of the Giralda tower from the ground to the weather vane is 96 metres (315 ft). Since the world 's two largest churches (the Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida and St. Peter's Basilica ) are not the seats of bishops, Seville Cathedral is still the largest cathedral in the world. Seville Cathedral was the site of the baptism of Infant Juan of Aragon in 1478, only son of the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. Its royal chapel holds the remains of the city 's conqueror Ferdinand III of Castile, his son and heir Alfonso the Wise and their descendant king Peter the Cruel.
