La Avenida de la Constitución

Today after class, a friend & I wandered la Avenida de la Constitución, the Main Street of sorts of Sevilla. The road is closed to automobile traffic, which leaves room for pedestrians, bicyclists & a slow-speed tram. The avenue's main attraction is, of course, the Catedral, whose original mosque was torn down as a combination of its own decay, Sevilla's fall to the Christians & a common goal: "Let us create such a building that future generations will take us for lunatics." The new structure was completed in 1507 in the Gothic style, but when its central dome collapsed in 1511, the repairs were done mostly in the Renaissance style. Other sights include the Post Office, the Bank of Sevilla & a few other stops that aren't technically on the Avenida.
