Famous for its rocket and its cathedral.
The Cathedral is big and solid with thick, sturdy pillars. Crocodiles like it.
The lady on top points the direction according to which way the wind blows. She is a good Catholic.
People put funny things on their houses. I don't know what they are.
===================
The official name for the lady, a 1568 bronze statue by Bartolome Morel was "Victrix Fideri Colossum". Don Quixote with his reputation for courting called her the "Giganta de Seville" and wondered at his lack of success with the fair sex. Now it is known as "la Giralda" or even "Giraldillo".
