You found a traveling stone!

Part of an inspiring artproject with travelling miniatures and art on the walking trails.

These unique painted stones travel around the world. Every travelling stone carries its own story or message, of a participant or about the trail. Here you find info about this project.
Below the story of this stone, location yourney and meetings with hikers.

The miniature, location and message.





This stone is for the Cathedral of Seville:

“For many, and also for me, the starting point of the Via de la Plata.
This cathedral is one of the largest medieval churches still standing. The 15th-century Gothic cathedral replaced a mosque. Part of the ground plan, as well as the 12th-century tower, the minaret, have been preserved as part of the cathedral.
The name of this tower is the Giralda (Spanish for wind vane). It is named after the 4-metre-high bronze statue at the top of the tower, which despite its enormous weight seems to be able to turn with the wind…..
The wind vane has been restored and examined by, among others, the University of Seville. For those who are technically interested, it is possible to obtain more information via this page.
The cathedral also houses the tomb of the famous explorer Christopher Columbus.”

This stone started travelling on 2021-10-27.
