Giralda Tower

Giralda Tower

This tower is the main tower of the Seville Cathedral. In bottom part of the tower is the original tower of the old mosque. The upper part is added later to accommodate the bells when the mosque was converted into the Cathedral. To assist the original Muezzin (the caller for prayers) climb up the Tower, they have built ramp instead of steps. This allowed the Muezzin to climb up the tower on horsebacks. It made the climb up the tower much easier. You will get a great view of Seville from this tower.
