📖

Full description

Torre del Oro is a dodecagonal watchtower on the banks of the Guadalquivir, built around 1220 as part of Seville's defensive wall, with several theories about the origin of its name. Inside is a small museum of naval history, and visitors can climb the stairs for views over the river and the old town.

Entry operates on a donation basis, which some reviewers found slightly awkward, and the exhibits are modest, though history enthusiasts could linger an hour. Allow about 30 minutes for a typical visit.

Reviews

This is a nice little attraction, which is donation run. Well worth a few euros to climb the stairs and take some vista pictures. There is a small navel museum within, with a audio guide download able by smartphone. Worth a visit, but challenging if you don't like spiral staircases or are less physically able, as…
