[🇪🇞Seville] Experience climbing to the top of the Giralda Tower of Seville Cathedral

What is the Giralda Tower? The Giralda Tower (La Giralda) of Seville Cathedral is one of the iconic buildings of Seville, known for its magnificent height and beautiful appearance. It was originally a minaret (a tower that calls Muslims to prayer) built in the Moorish era, but was remodeled by Christians to its current form. It is about 104 meters high and is also a spectacular view point overlooking the city of Seville. Let's climb the Giralda Tower I actually climbed the Giralda Tower, and the first thing that surprised me was the way to climb it. The path to the tower is not stairs, but a gentle slope. This slope, which gives a sense of the architectural technology of the Moorish era, is said to have been designed so that the cavalrymen of the time could climb it while still on horseback. You might think that the slope itself is less strenuous than stairs, but it continues for a long time, so it is more difficult than you would expect to keep climbing. The beautiful view awaits you at the top From the top of the tower, you can enjoy a spectacular 360-degree view of the city of Seville. Especially on a clear day, you can see the roof of Seville Cathedral, the surrounding buildings, and even the distant mountains and the Guadalquivir River, making it worth visiting. The beauty of the tiles on the roof of the Cathedral and the charm of the cityscape are a privilege that you can only get by climbing to the top. Be prepared before you take on the challenge However, it is quite stamina-intensive to continue climbing the slope, so we recommend that you do so before you go. There are no places to rest along the way, so you have to climb all at once, and continuing to climb the slope to the end may be harder than you expect. Don't forget to drink water frequently, especially in hot seasons. Summary The view of Seville from the Giralda Tower is truly amazing. The panoramic view that spreads out at the top is spectacular, and it is well worth visiting in terms of being able to see the entire city. However, to reach the top, you will have to continue climbing a long slope, so it is important that you are confident in your physical strength and are well prepared before attempting it. There is no doubt that the view at the top will soothe your fatigue. #SevilleCathedral #GiraldaTower #SevilleTrip #SpainTour #BeautifulSights #Spring0YenTrip
