La Giralda is a former minaret that was converted to a bell tower for the Cathedral of Seville. The fact that the giraldillo, atop the bell tower, acts as a weathervane, turning according to the direction of the wind, gave the tower its name, Giralda, from “girar”, “to turn”.
The Giralda tower can be accessed from inside the cathedral. A long climb on the ramp leads to the tower's belfry from where you have a superb 360 degree view over Seville. You can easily spot landmarks such as the Real Alcazar, Plaza de Espana and Plaza de Toros.
