Description
Cuando el dia se acaba (When the day ends) - Black and White by Andrea Mazzocchetti
A spectacular panorama that you can enjoy only in the city of Seville, Andalusia, southern Spain. We are at the foot of the Giralda, the secular tower now symbol of the Andalusian city. The crescent moon rises in the sky complete this wonderful picture, full of history and emotions.
The Giralda (named for the giraldillo or weather vane on its summit) was the minaret of the mosque that was replaced by Seville Cathedral.
Built in 1184-96, the tower was the culmination of Almohad architecture. It is considered the finest of the three great Almohad minarets: the other two are in the Moroccan cities of Rabat and Marrakesh.
The tower is actually the old minaret of the Almohad Mosque of Seville, from the XII Century. It is 97.5 meters high and it was subsequently transformed into a Renaissance bell- tower.
It supposed a harmony miracle, due to the architecture of two different cultures that are separated by four Centuries, the Renaissance and the Almohad Culture, were mixed in this building.
