Places to see in ( Andalusia - Spain ) Torre Giralda
The Giralda is the bell tower of the Seville Cathedral in Seville, Spain. It was originally built as a minaret during the Moorish period, during the reign of the Almohad dynasty with a Renaissance style top subsequently added by Spanish conquistadors after the expulsion of the Muslims from the area.
The Giralda was registered in 1987 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO along with the Alcazar and the General Archive of the Indies. The tower is 104.1 m (342 ft) in height and remains one of the most important symbols of the city, as it has been since medieval times.
Construction of the tower began under architect Ahmad Ben Baso in 1184. After Ben Baso's death, other architects continued work on the tower. The mathematician and astronomer Jabir ibn Aflah (or Geber) is also often credited with the tower's design. The tower was completed March 10, 1198 with the installation of copper spheres on the tower's top. The Almohads built similar towers in what are now Spain and Morocco during this period. The tower of the Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakesh served as a model for the Giralda and its sister, the Hassan Tower in Rabat.
Many towers have borrowed from the Giralda's design throughout history. Several church towers in the province of Seville also bear a resemblance to the tower, and may have been inspired by the Giralda. These towers, most notably those in Lebrija and Carmona, are popularly known as Giraldillas.
Numerous replicas of the Giralda have been built in the United States, mostly between 1890 and 1930:
The second Madison Square Garden in New York City, designed by Stanford White, built in 1890
A replica in the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri
The clock tower of the Ferry Building in San Francisco, completed in 1898
The clock tower of the Railroad Depot in Minneapolis, destroyed by wind in 1941
The Freedom Tower in Miami, Florida, built in 1925
The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida, built in 1926 BAanana
The Wrigley Building in Chicago, built in 1920
The Terminal Tower in Cleveland, built in 1930

La Giralda (Sevilla's Cathedral) - Sevilla, Spain
David's Been Here is in Sevilla, Spain, where the beautiful 12th Century La Giralda stands. One of the three remaining Almohad minarets in the world, this beautiful tower was converted from a minaret (mosque spire) into a bell tower when Spain re-conquered the Iberian Peninsula. Now part of Sevilla's main cathedral, this beautiful, ancient tower is loaded with historical significance, and is a must visit for all those touring the Andalusian city of Sevilla. For more information about La Giralda and Sevilla's Cathedral, check out the David's Been Here Guide to Andalusia, now available for your Kindle as well.

The Giralda is a bell tower of the Seville Cathedral in Seville, Spain. It was originally built as a minaret during the Moorish period, with a Renaissance style top subsequently added by Spaniards. The Giralda was registered in 1987 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO along with the Alcazar and the General Archive of the Indies. The tower is 104.1 m in height and remains one of the most important symbols of the city, as it has been since medieval times. The tower began to be built under architect Ahmad Ben Baso in 1184. After Ben Baso's death, other architects continued work on the tower. The mathematician and astronomer Jabir ibn Aflah (or Geber) is also often credited with the tower's design. The tower was completed March 10, 1198 with the installation of copper spheres on the tower's top. The Almohads built similar towers in what are now Spain and Morocco during this period. The tower of the Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakesh served as a model for the Giralda and its sister, the Hassan Tower in Rabat. The tower's first two-thirds is a former minaret from the Almohad period of Seville, the upper third Spanish Renaissance architecture. After Seville was taken by the Christians in 1248 during the Reconquista, the city's mosque was converted into a church. This structure was badly damaged in a 1356 earthquake, and by 1401 the city began building the current cathedral, one of the largest churches in the world and an outstanding example of the Gothic and Baroque architectural styles. The tower survived the earthquake, but the copper spheres that originally topped the tower fell during a 1365 earthquake, and the spheres were replaced with a cross and bell. The new cathedral incorporated the tower as a bell tower and eventually built it higher during the Renaissance under architect Hernán Ruiz the Younger, who was commissioned to work on the tower in 1568. This newer section of the tower contains a large inscription of Seville's motto, NO8DO, meaning has not abandoned me. Alfonso X of Castile gave the motto to the city when it continued to support his rule during an insurrection. Covering the top of the tower is the Lily section which surrounds the enclosure with the bell. The statue stands 4 m (13 feet) in height 7 m (23 ft) with the pedestal and sit on top of the tower from its installation in 1568. Many towers have borrowed from the Giralda's design throughout history. Several church towers in the province of Seville also bear a resemblance to the tower, and may have been inspired by the Giralda. These towers, most notably those in Lebrija and Carmona, are popularly known as Giraldillas.

Sevilla, Spain La Giralda (Sevilla's Cathedral)
Las invasiones africanas de los siglo XI y XII (almoravide y almohade) trajeron consigo a Al-Andalus una arquitectura y arte musulmán basados en el sillarejo o mampostería entre hiladas de ladrillo, (aunque ésta ya se utilizó en el mundo romano) arco polilobulado o de herradura apuntada (túmido), bóvedas de mocárabes, y artesonados de lazo y armaduras de par y nudillo.
En este contexto, el Imperio Almohade fijó la capital de Al-Andalus en Sevilla y erigió una grandiosa mezquita, más grande incluso que la de Córdoba, con 17 naves y cinco cúpulas ante el mihrab.
Esta mezquita mayor de Sevilla fue destruida para construir la catedral cristiana de estilo gótico, respetando únicamente dos elementos musulmanes: la citada Giralda, reconvertida en campanario cristiano y el Patio de los Naranjos.

오렌지 나무 위로는 세비야의 상징인 히랄다 탑이 우뚝 서 있다. 98미터의 높이의 종탑으로 12세기 말 회교도들이 만든 이슬람 사원의 탑이다. 탑의 꼭대기로 하는 길은 계단이 아닌 비스듬한 길이다. 이슬람 술탄들이 말을 타고 오르도록 하기 위해서다. 그런데 그 통로를 하나씩 통과할 때마다 벽에 층수가 쓰여 있는 것을 발견할 수 있다. 12세기에 지어진 것을 생각한다면 놀라울 따름이다. 25개의 종이 달려있는 탑의 상층부는 400년 후에 기독교인들이 만들었다. 이렇게 히랄다 탑은 이슬람 문화 위에 가톨릭 문화가 전해져 더 멋진 작품이 됐다. 히랄다 탑에서 보는 세비야는 그 전경이 아름답기로 유명하다.

Cathedral and Giralda minaret Sevilla
The Cathedral of St. Mary was built from 1401--1519 after the Reconquista on the former site of the city's mosque. It is among the largest of all medieval and Gothic cathedrals, in terms of both area and volume. The interior is the longest nave in Spain, and is lavishly decorated, with a large quantity of gold evident. The Cathedral reused some columns and elements from the mosque, and, most famously, the Giralda, originally a minaret, was converted into a bell tower. It is topped with a statue, known locally as El Giraldillo, representing Faith. The tower's interior was built with ramps rather than stairs, to allow the Muezzin and others to ride on horseback to the top.
