The Golden Tower is a testament to Seville's glorious maritime history, which used to be the end point of ships returning from the Americas laden with gold and silver. The Golden Tower is named for its golden tile veneer, which is now gone, but still looks golden under the setting sun. The tower is an equilateral 12-sided body, and each face represents an orientation. The Golden Tower was built during the Moorish rule in 1220 as a military watchtower whose main purpose was to monitor ships from invading the river port. Later, it was used as a prison, warehouse, post office, etc., and now it is a maritime museum, displaying ancient nautical charts, ancient ship models and various bow decorations.
