From the website:

Sevilla 111 Gigapixels is a huge panoramic and interactive photograph of Seville city, which consists of 111 thousand million pixels. A new worldwide record since December 2010.

.....

The photographers, José Manuel Domínguez and Pablo Pompa, wanted to capture the magic and charm of this enchanting city to make it available for all the people around the globe. This was inconceivable a few years ago; nowadays it is possible thanks to the technological advances of digital photography.

 

The result of several months of work is the biggest panoramic photograph of the world; a 613,376-pixel wide by 181,248-pixel high photograph, consisting of 9,750 images, taken at an altitude of 60 meters from the highest platform of Torre Schindler, in Isla de la Cartuja. Just as a matter of interest, if we printed this image, it would take up to 13,800 square meters, which is more than two football stadiums.
