About this audio guide
This guide to the Real Parroquia de Omnium Sanctorum in Seville opens in 1936, with the church on fire and the great altarpiece by Diego Lopez Bueno lost. It then looks at the brick tower, its diamond lattice borrowed from the Giralda, and the historians who disagree over whether it began as an Almohad minaret. Stand in front of the stone doorway with its nested pointed arches, and if it is a Thursday, expect a street market behind you.
