    Tips

    October 26, 2023

    Many expect a tower similar in size to Big Ben, only to be surprised by the building's low height. However, if there's one thing that's undeniable, it's that few images shine as brightly in our city as the view of this building on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, with the Maestranza and Giralda towers behind it. You're moved every time you see it at night from the San Telmo Bridge. Its height is 36 meters, and it's a watchtower, meaning it was part of a fortified enclosure, with which it was connected. Its main function was to defend the city.
    It is said that its name comes from the golden glow the tower reflected on the river.
