This 13th-century Almohad watchtower by the river supposedly had a dome covered in golden tiles, hence its name, ‘Tower of Gold'. Today, it hosts a small maritime museum spread over two floors and a rooftop viewing platform.
The tower was also once used to store the booty siphoned off the colonial coffers by the returning conquistadors from Mexico and Peru. Since then it has become one of the most recognisable architectural symbols of Seville.
