About
Brze činjenice: Look up and you’ll see a blend of ornate Islamic brick patterns and later Renaissance ornament, the layers visible like pages in a history book. Local guides like to point out the unusually broad, gentle ramps that once allowed horsemen to reach the belfry, so visitors encounter few steps despite the tower’s great height.
Istaknuto: Make the climb and at about 104 meters above ground a bronze weather vane roughly four meters tall crowns the top, its metal plates clinking audibly whenever a strong gust rolls through. Ascending those wide ramps you can hear deep bell tones nearby and smell orange blossom from the courtyard below, a sensory combo that hits you as the city unfolds in a 360-degree sweep.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the path up the Giralda is a long ramp not stairs.
- Cover shoulders and knees to respect the cathedral dress code and avoid being turned away.
- Photograph the tower from Plaza Virgen de los Reyes for a classic frontal view, and from the Patio de los Naranjos for architectural close-ups.
- Visit early in the morning to avoid tour-group rushes, and allow extra time if you want to join the audio guide.
