The third-largest church in the world, the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See (Catedral de Santa María de la Sede) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Seville, Andalusia, Spain. A mosque was originally built on the site in 1182, then converted to a cathedral in 1248. The cathedral was torn down in 1401 to make way for the current structure. All that remains of the mosque is an interior garden and a minaret that became a bell tower.
