Giralda

The Giralda is a historic tower in Seville, Spain, originally built as a minaret for the Great Mosque of Seville in the 12th century during Islamic rule. After the Christian Reconquest, it was transformed into a bell tower for the Seville Cathedral. Its architecture combines Islamic and Renaissance styles, featuring intricate brickwork, arches, and a scenic rooftop terrace offering panoramic city views. The Giralda is a symbol of Seville’s rich cultural history, blending Moorish craftsmanship with later Christian modifications, and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
