La Giralda 

The most emblematic tower par excellence of the city of Seville, without a doubt, is the Giralda.

If you’re going to see Seville you can’t miss this great work of art. The Giralda was originally built as the minaret of the mosque, but with the reconquest it became the bell tower of the Cathedral of Seville.

Torre del Oro 

The Torre del Oro in Seville is located on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, which makes it an icon of the city. It is one of the things you see in Seville in an obligatory way!

It has a height of 36 meters and, also, is next to the Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza. In the past it was used to defend the city against invaders or pirates.

The name “Torre del Oro” (Tower of Gold) seems to be due to the golden reflections produced by the tiles that covered it. In 1931 it was declared a historical-artistic monument.

Real Alcazar de Sevilla
