Torre del Oro

The Torre del Oro is a fascinating historical landmark in Seville. It’s not a very big tower, but its history makes it worth a visit. The small museum inside gives a nice overview of Seville’s naval past and maritime trade, especially during the time of the Spanish Empire. From the top, you get beautiful views of the Guadalquivir River and the city. It doesn’t take long to visit, so it’s a perfect stop while walking along the riverside.

It was a military watchtower in Seville constructed in 13th century and served as a prison. The tower is divided into three levels. It is one of two anchor points for a large chain that would have been able to block the river. The other anchor-point has since been demolished or disappeared. Picturesque place by the river. Must see place. Great place for photography. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen

Definitely Worth visiting the spectacular naval museum Torre del Oro. The entrance was free of charge. On my first visit, there was a crowded tourist group and a long queue, so I decided to come back later. One hour later the tower was suitable. On the first floor, a souvenir store is available, upper floors are museum full of naval relics and info. The top of the tower is a kind of terrace and has a nice view of the surroundings.

Free entry, they will ask you for any donation at the entry, even if it's £1 they will be happy so you choose the price of your ticket! Very interesting and has lovely ship models with a lot of history facts to learn. At the top you can take a picture of a lovely view of the city!

Interesting tower with a lot of history. It’s small, it doesn’t take a long time to see it. Nice viewing platform. There isn’t a ticket price, you donate however much you want.

The Torre del Oro is a small but historic tower on the Guadalquivir River, built in the 13th century by the Almohads to protect Seville’s port. Its name may come from the golden glow it once had or the treasures that passed through the city. Though modest in size, it has a rich Islamic origin and later served as a Christian watchtower and even a prison. Today, it houses a small naval museum and offers lovely views from the top. A quiet but meaningful stop—especially for those who value its Islamic roots

We saw the Torre del Oro at night, beautifully lit up against the Seville skyline. ✨ It was magical to stroll along the river and take in its historic charm without the crowds. Even without climbing to the top, it was a memorable and picturesque sight! 🌙

It's one of the must-see places in Seville. It's located on the riverbank. We didn't go inside. It may have great historical significance, but as Turks, we're familiar with such structures.
