About
快速信息: A dodecagonal stone tower rises roughly 36 meters above the riverbank, once anchoring a heavy chain that could stop incoming ships. Visitors can still glimpse its naval past inside, where maritime artifacts and historical maps sit in dim display cases that smell faintly of old wood and rope.
亮点: Climb the tight spiral stair to the terrace and you’ll feel a cool river breeze while the sun turns the masonry a warm, burnished gold. The twelve-sided silhouette makes the tower look like a giant coin from certain angles, and local storytellers still point out anchor-scored stones at the base that glint with dried river salt.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the interior has steep stone ramps and a few narrow stair sections.
- Best photos come from the Triana bridge or the riverside path facing west at sunset for reflections on the Guadalquivir.
- Focus on the terrace views and exterior architecture if short on time, the small naval exhibit can be brief.
- Arrive early morning or late afternoon to avoid tour-boat groups that gather near the tower mid-day.
