The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See (Seville Cathedral), the Catholic cathedral and former mosque is one of the largest churches in the world and the largest Gothic cathedral.
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 a thousand years. The Gothic section has a length of 413 feet, a width of 249 feet) and a central nave height of 118 feet (130 feet at the crossing). The total height of the Giralda tower from the ground to the weathervane is almost 343 feet. The Archbishop's Palace is located on the northeastern side of the cathedral.
Seville Cathedral was the site of the baptism of Infante Juan of Aragon in 1478, the 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. Christopher Columbus and his son Diego are also buried in the cathedral.
The Almohad caliph Abu Yaqub Yusuf ordered the construction of a new grand mosque for the city in 1172 on the south end of the city. The new mosque was dedicated in 1182 but was not completed until 1198. Larger and closer to the city's alcázar, the mosque was designed by architect Ahmad ben Basso as a 371 by 443-foot rectangular building with a surface of more than 160,000 square feet, including a minaret and ablutions courtyard. Its prayer hall consisted of 17 aisles oriented southward, perpendicular to its qibla wall, in the manner of many mosques of Al-Andalus. Shortly after Seville's conquest by Ferdinand III, Yaqub Yusuf's mosque was converted into the city's cathedral. Its orientation was changed, and its spaces partitioned and adorned to suit Christian worship practices. The internal space was gradually divided into chapels by constructing walls in the bays along the northern and southern walls. Almost the entire eastern half of the cathedral was occupied by the royal chapel that would hold the bodies of Ferdinand, his wife and Alfonso the Wise.
Seville Cathedral was built to demonstrate the city's wealth, as it had become a major trading center in the years after the Reconquista in 1248. In July 1401, city leaders decided to build a new cathedral to replace the grand mosque that served as the cathedral until then. Work began in 1402 and continued for more than a century. The precise date when construction began is not certain; some sources date it to 1433. Several factors, including royal resistance to the temporary relocation of the royal chapel delayed construction. In 1433, King John II of Castille allowed the temporary transportation of the royal bodies from the old Capilla Real (Royal Chapel), including those of Alfonso X, Beatrice of Swabia, Ferdinand III, Peter the Cruel and MarÃa de Padilla to the cathedral's cloister for storage.
In the main body of the cathedral, the boxlike choir loft, which fills the central portion of the nave, and the vast Gothic retable of carved scenes from the life of Christ. The builders preserved some elements from the ancient mosque. The mosque's sahn the courtyard for ablutions for the faithful to conduct their ritual cleansing before entering the prayer hall) is known today as the Patio de los Naranjos. It contains a fountain and orange trees.
The Giralda, the bell tower of the Cathedral of Seville, reaches 343 feet, and its square base is 44 feet per side. It is the former minaret of the mosque that stood on the site under Muslim rule and was built to resemble the minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech, Morocco. The Giralda was converted into a bell tower for the cathedral after the Reconquista, although the topmost section dates from the Renaissance. Construction began in 1184 under the direction of architect Ben Ahmad Baso. According to Ibn Sahib al-Salah, the works were completed on in March 1198, with the placement of four gilt bronze balls in the top section. After a strong earthquake in 1365, the spheres were missing. In the 16th century, the belfry was added by the architect Hernán Ruiz the Younger, which hides the Almohad lantern. The statue on its top – El Giraldillo – was installed in 1568 to represent the triumph of the Christian faith.

Upon completion of a 10 week Certificate II leadership and personal development course through Aboriginal Indigenous Leadership Centre (AILC) 12 local indigenous youth travelled to Central Australia in June / July 2016.
The trip was undertaken to assist them to learn about the value and role of traditional culture and value and to reconnect with identity, culture and spiritual practices.
On their return the leadership group will use their new skills and understanding to influence and teach their peers through peer development, Youth Week and Reconciliation Week activities. They will also develop a short DVDE of their personal journey which will be used by schools and youth centres as a resource for other young people.
The leadership team will work with Queanbeyan-Palerang Regaional Council's Aboriginal Community Liaison and Projects Officer to create an innovative new Reconciliation Week program, with activities tailored for all school ages.
