What makes Seville special
- Why is the Torre del Oro called the Tower of Gold?
- Its old Arabic name speaks of a golden shine that the tower cast on the river. For a long time, people thought tiles made it glow. Then repair work showed the shine came from a mix of lime mortar and pressed straw. Source: Spanish Navy, checked .
- How could people ride a horse up the Giralda?
- The Giralda was built as a minaret. Inside, ramps climb up between a square core and the outer walls. The tower is so big that the ramps even let riders go up on horseback. Source: Seville Cathedral, checked .
- Why does a saint in a cathedral painting have a scar?
- Long ago, a thief hid in the cathedral at night. He climbed up and cut the kneeling saint out of a huge Murillo painting. Months later, a dealer in New York knew the piece at once and helped send it home. You can still spot the cut. Source: Visita Sevilla, checked .
- Why do Roman columns on Calle Mármoles stand in a pit?
- Three tall Roman columns from an old temple still stand on this narrow street. Their bases sit in a pit far below the street. Over time, dirt and new buildings slowly raised the city up around them. Two more now stand at the Alameda de Hércules. Source: Visita Sevilla, checked .
- What is the giant tree in the Cartuja gardens?
- It is an ombú. This kind of tree comes from the plains of South America. Long ago, the son of Columbus planted its seeds in the garden of a monastery here. The tree has lived through big floods. It even lived through a pottery works. Source: Visita Sevilla, checked .
- Does the Alcázar belong to the Crown or to the city?
- Both, in a way. When the Castilians took the city long ago, the palace became a seat of the Crown. It also became a place of city power. The palace history says it has kept both roles right up to the present day. Source: Real Alcázar de Sevilla, checked .
