"The Tower of Homage is located in the northeast corner of the Alcázar wall. It should be noted about this tower that its appearance is dominant, being the most imposing of the four existing towers. Formerly it was known as the Clock Tower, since it had a large clock, but it was disassembled at the beginning of the 20th century. Its plan is octagonal, having a high vault with four ribs that rest on capitals, carved in situ with plant motifs and influenced by Gothic architecture, although the labor that made it was not of great skill compared to the Tower. of the Lions
tower of tribute
It has two floors, on the ground floor, there was the old cistern of the royal palace, while on the upper floor is the main room or reception room. The name of this tower has its origins when it was intended for making proclamations by kings, royal audiences, court visits, as well as receiving ambassadors. In addition, it is credited that this room was the first reception between the Christian Monarchs and Christopher Columbus, before his expedition.
The tower is crowned with a terrace with battlements. The tower terrace is accessed by a straight stone staircase, which is illuminated by two rose windows on the sides. Climbing the stairs of this tower will be fully rewarded with the wonderful views that it will give us of the Alcázar complex. In addition, from this tower you can access the Hall of Mosaics."
