Former minaret converted into a bell tower when the Christians took over. Go up for sweeping views of Sevilla! The trek is much easier than most European towers since you go up ramps, not stairs .

Pettran

Amazing views ???????? Totally worth the walk up! It sais 17 floors, and the counts in the tower are 34. Can be very crowded .

The bell tower of Catedral de Santa Maria de la Sede in Sevilla which is the third biggest cathedral in the world. You can find many restaurants and shops nearby.

#NuevaYork tuvo su propia Giralda en el Madison Square Garden entre 1879 y 1889.When #NYC had its own Giralda Tower in Madison Square Garden (1879 to 1889).

Kate Evans

Just amazing - take a walk around the perimeter before entering as the building has so much to offer on the outside as well as in!

Adam Nowek

Fantastic contrasts of architectural styles visible from the outside. Worth the price of admission if only for walking around the exterior.

Great architecture ⚜️

It is most notoriously the symbol of the city of Sevilla. Piece of art and culture.

Main landmark of the city . It’s kinda the only thing that’s left of the old mosque which got destroyed to be replaced by a cathedral

Los dos tercios inferiores de la torre son del antiguo Alminar de la Mezquita , se instaló un primer reloj en la torre que posteriormente se sustituyó, la antigua maquinaria se encuentra en el interior

Elaine Queiroz

Vale muito a pena subir Lá Giralda, é uma torre de 104,1m de altura, a mais alta da Espanha. Lá de cima tem a visão de grande parte de Sevilla além da parte de cima da catedral de Sevilla.

Andrés S.

Merece mucho la pena subir, la vista desde arriba de Sevilla es espectacular. No se hace demasiado pesado subir al tratarse prácticamente todo de pequeñas cuestas en cada nivel en vez de escalones .

Andrey Grabelnikov

Хиральда - изначально минарет, превращенный в колокольню . Наверху служащая флюгером четырехметровая бронзовая статуя христианской Веры. Лучшая смотровая площадка . Доступ по тем же билетам из собора .

Daniel Lora

La Giralda por su lado de la calle Alemanes, tiene dos lienzos en blanco a la altura del primer balcón , estos fueron frescos pintados con las imágenes San Isidoro, San Leandro, y Santas Justa y Rufina

Laëtitia J

C'est bien simple, on ne voit qu'elle à Séville ! Grande et majestueuse, elle est encore plus belle de nuit quand elle est éclairée. Une vraie beauté gothique qu'on ne se lasse pas de contempler...

Cristian V.

Hermoso lugar. Sus ascenso no es difícil y'a quejo cuenta con escalones.se logra obtener buenas vistas del casco histórico de la ciudad

David Borrallo

Que no te desmoralice la cuesta, si vienes a Sevilla tienes que subir a lo alto y ver la ciudad desde todos sus lados, porque merece muchísimo la pena (y en verano se está fresquito)

Cintia

Bonitas las vistas de toda sevilla. Estaría bien que los barrotes los cambiasen de horizontal a vertical, para que la gente no los use de escalera y se tire.

Cecile Blanc

Vue panoramique sur Séville . Eviter d'y aller au plus chaud de la journee : la montée peut etre pénible avec la chaleur.

Ana Paula

Se tarda un poco pero vale la pena subir la torre

Vicente Martinez

Las vistas son increíbles. Ni te enteras de que has subido más de treinta rampas . Historia viva ante tus ojos.

Lovely cathedral. Book ahead as the queues are long. Definitely worth a climb of the bell tower, which is almost completely enclosed so perfect for those with a touch of vertigo. - Ben Patterson
