Iglesia de San Marcos

This guide to the Iglesia de San Marcos in Seville follows a tower that began as a mosque minaret before becoming a Gothic-Mudéjar bell tower, and the church around it that burned twice, 466 years apart. It traces the first fire in 1470, set when the feuding Ponce de León and Guzmán noble houses fought for control of the city, and the eight years it took to rebuild. Look closely at the sebka brickwork and twin filigreed windows as you listen.
