La Giralda Review

The main tower of the Sevilla cathedral! this is a stunning piece of architecture that you can climb up.

The crystallization of visiting Sevia Cathedral! I climbed the Hiralda. It was difficult, but the moment I climbed to Hiralda, I was able to explore downtown Sevia in all directions, and the spectacular view is very awesome.

The tower is a circular ramp with more than 30 floors and a view over 70 meters high from the observation deck. The panoramic view of Seville is panoramic. During the tower, there are windows for viewing from each turn.

Girarda Tower is a part of the Seville Cathedral. It is now used as a bell tower. The Seville Cathedral was built after the demolition of the original mosque built in the 7th century in 1400. It was completed in 1598. At that time, the minaret of the mosque was left, and the present bell tower-Girarda Tower was rebuilt. Therefore, one of the greatest characteristics of the church is to retain the characteristics of three buildings. The main body of the Gothic church, the Moorish minaret and the top part of the Baroque Bell Tower. The main door of the church is a metal wind vane for the goddess of faith. Another wind vane of the same size is on the top of the Girarda Tower next to it. The bell tower has a ramp for horseback riding, which is also a reflection of the Arab style.

Nearly 100 meters high, Gilardata is the landmark of Seville. It can be seen anywhere in the city. Its Islamic style is due to the fact that it is presided over by the Amoad family, who are Islamists. There are 28 big bells on the top of the tower, which can tell the time with beautiful timbre. The tower can be climbed by a ramp that used to be bypassed by the king on horseback, and a panoramic view of the city of Seville can be enjoyed. There are many carriages in the back streets of the church actively visiting tourists.

In fact, the Girarda Tower was a minaret attached to the Sevilian Catholic Cathedral, which was still a mosque at that time. After the recovery movement, the mosque was rebuilt as a Catholic church, and the minaret was naturally rebuilt as a bell tower of the church. It's one of Sevilla's highest points. In order for the horse to go up, the ladder inside Gilardata is very wide. There are several sets of big bells on the top, which can be heard for four miles.
