The Torre del Oro (Tower of Gold) is where the gold and silver, extracted from the New World was brought to Spain and stored here at the Torre del Oro. At one time this 12th century tower was lined with gold tiles, but those disappeared a long time ago. If in Seville, you should go down to the shores of the Rio Guadalquivir, and visit the restored tower that is now home to the Museo Nautico.

    The Golden Tower is one of the most remarkable landscapes in Seville, which is located on the banks of the Guadalquiville River. It was built in 1220 to monitor ships entering and leaving the river port, and later used as a warehouse, post office and prison.

    The Spanish Golden Tower was built in 1220 in the Mowahid Dynasty. The Golden Tower reflects a strong Arab style. There are 12 equal brick towers. Each brick tower represents an orientation. The building is called the Golden Tower because the building is surrounded by a layer of gold powder. Light is like gold, so it's called the Golden Tower, which bears witness to Seville's glorious seafaring history.

    When we arrived in Seville, we first saw a tall tower on the Bank of Guadalkivi River, the Golden Tower. The Golden Tower is a 12th-13th century building. It is Arabic-style, 12-sided. The Guadalkivi River is Spain's largest inland river. Seville is also the most important inland port city. The treasures brought back by Columbus conquering the world were unloaded here and transported back from South America. It was also transported from here to Europe, where it was in charge of the East India Company, the most important trading company in Spain's trade with Asia. Later, due to the siltation of the river, the port was changed to the port of Alkhsilas in the south of Spain, and the economy of Sevilla was declining gradually. It was not until the Ibero-American Expo was held in 1929 that the economy of Sevilla was revitalized. The Golden Tower was the witness of that glorious period. The name of the Golden Tower is that it was covered with gold powder and that it was the landmark of the unloading place of gold and silver. I feel that the latter is probably more reliable.

    The Golden Tower of Seville, Spain, was built in 1220, the Muwahid Dynasty. The Golden Tower reflects a strong Arab architectural style, consisting of 12 brick towers with equal sides. Each Brick Tower represents an orientation. The building is called the Golden Pagoda because it was surrounded by a layer of gold powder, shining like gold, so it was named the Golden Pagoda. With the passage of time, the gold powder of the tower body has gradually fallen off, but the top of the tower is still golden. In the evening sunset and light, the golden tower still appears golden, shining as before.

    黄金塔是塞维利亚的地标建筑之一,位于河边,离斗牛场不远。星期一是不用买门票的,参观的人也多一些。现在这里是航海博物馆,记录了西班牙海军的历史。
