What people say

"The 36-meter-high tower was built to protect enemy ships from entering the port, and in its early days it was connected to the Fortress Tower by a strong current that crossed the river. Legend has it that the tower not only served a defensive function but was also the place where furtive encounters between the king and the ladies he courted took place. Years later, before the museum was set up there, the tower also served as a chapel and a prison for various members of the nobility."
Federica Vianello
"In the past, this tower was part of the military defenses of the city and still today it's an important element of the city. It's built near the river, along the Paseo del Colon. At sunset, the light gives it a golden light, almost as if it were a jewel. Today it hosts the Seville Naval Museum. "
"Translating to "Golden Tower," Torre del Oro is a watchtower on the Guadalquivir River. The tower is noticeable from Puente de Triana Bridge. "
