La Giralda in Seville, one of the most important tourist attractions in Spain, is a minaret of the Great Mosque during the reign of the Almohads during the Islamic state of Andalusia.
In 1402 CE, it was converted to the Seville Cathedral bell tower, which was built by the Spanish on the ruins of the mosque after the end of the rule of Muslims, and today it is one of the most important places of tourism in Seville
The tower is 97.5 meters high and at the time of its construction it was the tallest and tallest building tower in the world, and it is one of the three finest minarets built by the Almohads: the other two in the Moroccan cities of Rabat and Marrakech.
This tower is distinguished by the cultural and architectural diversity noted in its design, which combines Arab Islamic civilization with Western Christian civilization
The Spaniards replaced the dome that fell as a result of an earthquake with a cross and a bell. The bell with a Christian statue on top of it was made on the silo of Giralda
