Built by the Almohad dynasty to protect the city from invading forces, Torre del Oro looms over the entrance to the city along the Guadalquivir River. Learn about Sevilla’s naval history in the military watchtower’s maritime museum, which contains fossilized marine debris, compasses, old charts, historical documents, a 16th-century cannon, anchors, and flags. The top of the tower also offers outstanding views of the city and river. Arrange to visit Torre del Oro and other attractions in Seville using our Seville trip planner.

This is one beautiful tower on the river’s edge. For a small fee one can enter and climb up to the top. Nice views from this tower and well worth the entry fee.

Awesome views from the top, river on one side and the city on the other. If you're into history you'll enjoy the small but great museum inside which offers a lot of information about the history of the city and the navy. Entrance is actually free, but you can make a voluntary contribution if you wish. There was no wait to get in, but once at the top, you might have to wait a few minutes to walk up to the top of the stairs because everyone wants to do the same thing to take selfies 🤳 😀

Lovely! Entrance is free. Also worth a visit if you are not into marine, (ancient) ships and history. Than just skip the exhibition and go to the top. Stunning view over Sevilla.
