The 'Catedral de Santa María de la Sede', better known as Seville Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Seville. It's the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and the third largest. The 'Giralda' is the cathedral's bell tower reaching a height of 343 feet (105m). Originally built as a minaret in 1198, it evolved over the next four centuries into its present day design which was completed in 1568. It was registered in 1987 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Seville, itself, is the capital of Andalucia and with a population of over 700,000 is Spain's 4th largest city. Situated on a plain of the River Guadalquivir, it has a history dating back to 200BC when legend has it that it was founded by Hercules. Originally it was known as 'Hispalis' under the Romans and 'Isbiliya' when under the control of the Moors. The high point in its history, not unsurprisingly, followed the discovery of America in 1492. It is a truly wonderful city to visit although in the summer months it gets very hot with temperatures routinely in excess of 40° C (104° F). Indeed, Seville, is generally regarded as the hottest city in Europe so avoid in July and August! There's so much to see in the city, starting as most visitors do with a first view of the city's emblematic tower, the 'Giralda', the bell tower of the cathedral, one of the largest in the world. There's the Alcázar Palace and gardens - perhaps not rivalling the Alhambra in its scale and architectural beauty - but not far off! Other treasures include the 'Casa de Pilatos', the 'Torre del Oro', the Ayuntaminto (Town Hall), the 'Archivo General de Indias' (where the historical records of the American continent are kept), the 'Museo de Bellas Artes' (Museum of Fine Arts) which is the second largest picture gallery in Spain. and, of course, many beautiful and revered parish churches, convents and numerous palaces. But for all its magnificent monuments, architecture and fascinating history, Seville is universally admired for being a joyous town; with 'Sevillanos' known for their wit, sparkle and vitality - hardly surprising given its association with Carmen, Don Juan and Figaro! 'Sevillanos' are great actors and put on an extraordinary performance at their annual 'Feria de Abril', a week-long party of drink, food and dance which takes place day and night in more than a thousand especially constructed tents. But above all it allows the men to parade on their fine horses and the women to dance in brilliantly coloured gypsy dresses. Immediately before that is Holy Week, or 'Semana Santa', a religious festival where hooded penitents march In long processions followed by huge baroque floats on which sit images of the Virgin or Christ, surrounded by cheerful crowds. Both of these events are 'must-sees' with the proviso that hotel bookings in the city should be made many months (if not years) beforehand and an acceptance that large, boisterous, always enthusiastic crowds are very much the order of the day. Wandering the tiny side streets of Seville, particularly the Jewish quarter, the 'Barrio Santa Cruz', and the vibrant (former gypsy) quarter of 'Triana', is a delight too; especially when sufficient time is set aside to sample some traditional tapas, drink some locally produced manzanilla (fino sherry) or listen to some impromptu flamenco. Seville has everything and then some!

The Heaviest Tank in the Museum
This enormous tank was designed on the premise that World War II would evolve in the same way as the First World War. Some believed that existing tanks would not be able to deal with such conditions, and one of the most influential was Sir Albert Stern, who had been secretary to the Landships Committee in the First World War. In company with many others involved in tank design in 1916, including Sir William Tritton, Sir Eustace Tennyson D'Eyncourt, Sir Ernest Swinton and Walter Wilson, Stern was authorised by the War Office to design a heavy tank on First World War principles.
Two prototypes were built, both known as TOG for The Old Gang and they were even manufactured by the company that built Little Willie and the first tanks in 1916, William Foster & Co. of Lincoln. TOG I was very much like a big World War 1 tank with a turret on top. It was later scrapped. TOG II was a much more original design. It has two remarkable features, apart from its great size and weight. Firstly there is no gearbox or mechanical transmission. The huge Paxman-Ricardo V12 diesel drives two generators which power two electric motors which drive the tracks. The tracks themselves, after passing around the sprocket and idler, drop down below floor level in a tunnel to create more space in the engine and crew compartments - an idea which is virtually unique to this tank.
TOG II was completed in 1941. It was so heavy they could only weigh half at a time. The original plan was to fit machine-gun sponsons (another World War 1 idea) where the side doors are and the tank carried four different turrets between 1941 and 1945. In practice the ideas of The Old Gang were wrong. In reality tanks needed to be smaller and more mobile. Yet TOG II is even bigger and heavier than the German Tiger, proving that Britain could have produced heavier tanks had it wished.
The TOG Committee was set up in September 1939. Members had been mainly concerned with World War 1 tank design. The first specification was very similar to early heavy tanks. This was varied over several months to produced TOG 1, 1A, 2 and 2A. Project abandoned in 1944.

«The « Scriptura » exhibition, which is in the old tag-covered dockyard shows how learning how to write has evolved from the Middle-Ages to the present day. The first part of the exhibition shows 27 educational paintings of schools in the Middle-Ages. The second part of the exhibition explains the influence of printing, particularly in Bouillon in the 18th century. A classroom like one in the beginning of the 20th century can be seen before entering a modern 21st century technology classroom. The visitor finishes by a temporary exhibition. The "Sriptura" exhibition is included in the price of the visit of the castle.»
