This photo from the coordinates takes the perspective of the Tower from the Seminary.
I don't know the date of the photo, but it is before 1926, since the physiognomy of the tower will change notably, with the reform that the architect Fernando Alcántara carried out within a neo-Mudejar style, foreign to the monument.
The spire was suppressed and, in its place, he put a small body of bells, of square plant, which he covered with a cupulin. The walls were covered with a rich and colorful plaster decoration, inspired by Islamic motifs, mainly North African; while the stepped battlements that crowned the tower remind us of the Cordovan mosque.
The clock also changed.
