Giralda Tower of the
cathedral in Sevilla. The bottom
2/3 of the tower was originally the tower of a mosque. You can see the Arabic arches in the windows
of this part of the tower. The
mosque was razed in 1406 and the rest of the tower was build on top of the
old tower by the Catholic kings.
The Islamic part of the tower is one of only 3 remaining towers built
in this style in the world. The
other two are in Morocco. |
