Tower of Gold The Tower of Gold is a witness to Seville's glorious maritime history, controlling the waterway to Seville and protecting the royal palace ⚓. It gets its name from the golden tiles that covered its surface. Although the tiles are no longer there, it still shines golden in the setting sun 🌇. #Travel #travel #Spain #FamousCity #Seville
