The symbol of Seville is the famous Giralda, the bell tower of the cathedral, which was originally a minaret of a grand mosque built in the 12th century. The mosque itself disappeared without a trace, the minaret was preserved perfectly, eventually it was transformed into a bell tower, and now it serves as an observation platform for those who are not too lazy to climb to a height of 98 meters. True, the rise is so convenient that it is easily overcome even by excursion groups of German pensioners.
It is worth seeing also the former Jewish quarter of Santa Cruz, the "Golden Tower" Torre del Oro - the ancient bastion of the Arab city wall and the monastery of Santa Maria de las Cuevas, where Columbus was originally buried.
