Additional Information
Introduction
The Torre del Oro, or “Tower of Gold” in Spanish, is a military watchtower overlooking Seville in southern Spain. Some say that the gold found in the New World was stored here, giving the tower its nickname. Built by the Almohad dynasty in the early 13th century, it was used as a means of controlling Seville and defending it from invaders, however Christian forces eventually defeated the Muslim occupants during the Middle Ages. After a history of near abandonment, the tower eventually became a restored naval museum, an examination of the history of Seville and its adjacent river.

Torre del Oro is a dodecagonal military watchtower in Seville, built by the Almonad dynasty in order to control acess to Seville via the Guadalquivir river.
It shines a true gold hue at Sunset and being next to the river, is part of the prettiest views in Seville.
The background of the gold tower is located in the river is a lot of postcards,, not any relationship with gold. Bundled free two-day shipping on Monday, after registration can be free to visit. Mainly some navigation display of the appliance, and outlook mouth we can see the distant scenery. Around the tower climb a circle, not tired, each level has the exhibits, can visit as we go along. A layer of selling souvenirs. The highest top part of a layer of can''t go up, but have also been overlooking the distant attractions such as the cathedral, at no cost is worth visiting.
Just like the Torre de la Plata, the "Tower of Gold" was built in the Almohad dynasty as a military watchtower.
One of the best Seville attractions. I enjoyed this place a little bit too much, and I would love to come back.
