Many expect a tower the size of Big Ben and are then surprised by the building's modest height. However, one thing is undeniable: few sights in our city are as striking as the view of this building on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, with the Maestranza bullring and the Giralda tower in the background. You're moved every time you see it at night from the San Telmo Bridge. It stands 36 meters tall and is an albarrana tower, meaning it was part of a fortified enclosure to which it was connected. Its primary function was to defend the city.
