Description
The Giralda - Andalusian Flag by Andrea Mazzocchetti
The Giralda of Seville in this "andalusian flag" colorsplah.
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.
