The bell tower of the cathedral in Seville is known as the Giralda. It was originally a minaret before the mosque was turned into the cathedral after the Reconquista of Spain. One of my favorite activities of each new city I visit is to climb to the highest point and this high point didn't disappoint. Actually, it was an easy climb as the tower was built to be ruled by horseback. This meant that instead of climbing stairs we simply walked a series of ramps all the way to the top!
