La Giralda Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Giralda Tower is a landmark of Seville, and this 98-meter-high building can be seen no matter where in the city. The tower was built by the Islamic Amoad family at the end of the 12th century. It has a strong Islamic style. The spire is very small when looking up from the tower. In fact, it is a bronze statue of 4 meters high and weighing 1288 kilograms. It will turn back and forth, and the 28 large clocks on the top of the tower can still tell the time for the residents of Seville with beautiful tones. The 70-meter-high observation deck is the perfect place to take in the view of the city of Seville or to confirm the exact location of the attractions you are planning to visit. However, there are no steps in the tower, only a ramp that is said to have been used by the king on horseback in the past. There are also hundreds of ancient carriages outside the church for tourists to rent.

The main tower of the Sevilla cathedral! this is a stunning piece of architecture that you can climb up.
The crystallization of visiting Sevia Cathedral! I climbed the Hiralda. It was difficult, but the moment I climbed to Hiralda, I was able to explore downtown Sevia in all directions, and the spectacular view is very awesome.
The tower is a circular ramp with more than 30 floors and a view over 70 meters high from the observation deck. The panoramic view of Seville is panoramic. During the tower, there are windows for viewing from each turn.
The Giralda Tower is part of the Seville Cathedral, now used as a bell tower, which was built in 1400 after the original 7th century mosque was demolished and completed in 1598, when the minaret of the mosque was left behind. The current bell tower, the Giralda Tower, was converted into a single one of the biggest features of the church, which retains three architectural features: the Gothic church main body, the Moorish minaret section and the top baroque bell tower section. The main entrance is a metal-cast goddess of faith weather vane, and another of the same size is on the top of the Giralda tower next to it, which has a ramp for horse riding, which is also reflected in the Arabic style.
The nearly 100-meter-high Giralda Tower is a landmark in Seville, and can be seen anywhere in the city. The tower is Islamic because the tower is presided over by the Amouad family, who are Islamists. There are 28 bells at the top of the tower, which can be used to tell the time in a beautiful tone. A ramp through the tower where the king rode around the past can be reached to enjoy panoramic views of the city of Seville. There are many carriages in the back streets of the church actively recruiting tourists.
In fact, the Giralda Tower was attached to the Seville Cathedral, which was still the Mosque at the time. After the recovery of the lost land movement, the mosque was converted into a Catholic Church. The minaret was naturally converted into a bell tower of the church. It is one of the commanding heights of Seville. To allow the horses to go up, the ladder inside Giralda Tower is wide. There are a few sets of bells at the top, and I think of smelling up to four miles.
