The city's cathedral was built from 1401 – 1519 after the Reconquista on the former site of the city's mosque . It is the largest of all medieval and Gothic cathedrals, in terms of both area and volume. The interior, with the longest nave in Spain, is lavishly decorated, with a large quantity of gold evident. The Cathedral reused some columns and elements from the mosque, and most famously the Giralda , originally a minaret , was converted into a bell tower . It is topped with a statue, known locally as La Giraldilla, representing Faith . The Giralda is the city's most famous symbol.
