History

The diocese of Seville was built in the 3rd century. In the 4th century the diocese of Seville was raised to an archbishopric.

In the 7th century were the Holy Leander of Seville and the Holy Isidor of Seville archbishops of Seville. Leander of Seville supported the Visigoth king Reccared I. and his son Hermenegild in their conversion to Catholicism, and so was Leander of Seville also instrumental for the conversion of the Visigoths at. In addition, Leander of Seville initiated in the year 589 the third Council of Toledo. Isidore of Seville, who was later Doctor of the Church, led in 633 presided over the 4th Council of Toledo.

As a result of the Islamic expansion went under the Archbishopric of Seville. From the mid-12th century to the middle of the 13th century no bishops could be appointed for Seville because of Arab supremacy. Only in 1251 was built the Archdiocese of Seville as a result of the Reconquista again. The mosques were converted into churches. But the churches of Santa María la Blanca, Santa Cruz and San Bartolomé were passed as synagogues to the Jewish community. The present cathedral was built on the basis of the great mosque, which was in 1171 by the third Caliph of the Almohad, Abu Yaqub Yusuf I, rebuilt. The famous bell tower of the Giralda is the work of Almansor.

This responsibility for the Latin American dioceses ended on February 12, 1546 as the bishoprics of Santo Domingo, Mexico City and Lima, by Pope Paul III. were elevated to archdioceses.
