La Giralda bell tower
La Giralda is the iconic bell tower of Seville Cathedral in Spain, originally built as a minaret for a mosque in the 12th century. Its Moorish architecture features intricate brickwork and a distinctive, slender structure topped with a Renaissance-style bell chamber added later. The tower stands about 104 meters tall, blending Islamic and Christian design elements, and offers panoramic views of Seville. Its elegant, ribbed form and historical significance make it a symbol of the city’s rich cultural blend and architectural heritage.
