I have read several references to the collapse of the main dome and vaults of the Cathedral in 1888, but have never seen any information describing this event, and the reconstruction. Does anyone have something on this? Hiberniantears 17:25, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is it really the biggest cathedral?

I was in Seville a few days ago and visited the cathedral. I read its claim of being the largest cathedral and the largest church after St Peter in Rome and St Paul in London. I was surprised because it looked smaller than the Cologne cathedral. So checking the Wikipedia I found that a) the claim of being the largest Cathedral is repeated b) the Wikipedia entry of the Cologne cathedral appears to make that one larger than the Seville cathedral by every measurement. So maybe the claim made in the Wikipedia should be corrected (not sure if one could get the sevilleans to correct their statement) Stephan

As far as I know it is the third largest by volume. And St Peter's is not a Cathedral but a Basilica. Regards, --Asteriontalk 00:00, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Contact information

Any particular reason we should have the contact information for this ONE cathedral? And that right at the top of the page? Why oh why? I'll remove it. If you want to write it back, it is Cathedral of Seville, Avenida de la Constitución, s/n. 41001 Seville, Spain.George Adam Horváth (talk) 20:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
