La Giralda is one of Seville’s most recognizable landmarks and a symbol of the city’s rich history. Originally built in the 12th century as a minaret for the Great Mosque of Seville during the Almohad dynasty, it was later transformed into a bell tower for Seville Cathedral after the mosque was demolished in the 16th century. Today, La Giralda stands as a striking blend of Islamic and Christian architectural influences.
