Girlada, Seville and the walls of the Reales , Spain.


The Giralda is one of the most magnificent buildings in Sevilla and dominates the skyline You can ascend to the bell chamber for a remarkable view of the city and equally remarkable a glimpse of the Gothic details of the cathedral s buttresses and statuary The most impressive of all is the tower s inner construction series of 35 gently inclining ramps wide enough to allow the passage of two mounted guards The Moorish structure took twelve years to construct and derives its firm simply beauty from the shadows formed by blocks of brick trellis work different on each side and relieved by a succession of arched niches and Alcazar is a fine example of Mudejar
