黃金塔

塞維利亞旅遊資源極為豐富，黃金塔是可圈可點的景觀之一。黃金塔，座落於塞維利亞瓜達爾基維爾河畔，始建於1220年，建設初衷為監視出入河港的船隻，后又用作倉庫、郵局和監獄。作為西班牙遠洋船隊的啟航地之一，黃金塔見證了西班牙海洋強國的輝煌。12等邊形陵柱的磚塔，濃郁的阿拉伯建築風格，敦實中透着滄桑，大氣中不失典雅…

西班牙黃金塔修建於1220年穆瓦希德王朝 黃金塔體現出濃濃的阿拉伯建築風格 有12個等邊的磚塔構成 每一塊磚塔代表一個方位 這座建築之所以名為黃金塔 是因為建築的四周塗有一層金粉 閃閃發光 好似黃金 因而得名為黃金塔 黃金塔見證了塞維利亞輝煌的航海史

黃金塔就在瓜達爾基維爾河邊，原來是一座軍事瞭望塔，主要目的是監視進犯河港的船隻，現在作為航海博物館，展示古海圖、古船模型及各種船頭模型。

When we arrived in Seville, we first saw a tall tower on the Bank of Guadalkivi River, the Golden Tower. The Golden Tower is a 12th-13th century building. It is Arabic-style, 12-sided. The Guadalkivi River is Spain's largest inland river. Seville is also the most important inland port city. The treasures brought back by Columbus conquering the world were unloaded here and transported back from South America. It was also transported from here to Europe, where it was in charge of the East India Company, the most important trading company in Spain's trade with Asia. Later, due to the siltation of the river, the port was changed to the port of Alkhsilas in the south of Spain, and the economy of Sevilla was declining gradually. It was not until the Ibero-American Expo was held in 1929 that the economy of Sevilla was revitalized. The Golden Tower was the witness of that glorious period. The name of the Golden Tower is that it was covered with gold powder and that it was the landmark of the unloading place of gold and silver. I feel that the latter is probably more reliable.

It is said that in the heyday of Seville, there was a chain under the Golden Tower, which led to the other side of the Guadakieville River. Once something happened, the chain could be pulled up to block the Guadakieville River. Now the past goes with the wind, only the orange tree accompanies around the silent Golden Tower. Climbing to the top of the tower, you can see the magnificent cathedral in the distance, and several exhibition halls inside are equipped with navigational ships and weapons. It's not as busy as around the cathedral, but it's a window into Seville's golden age.

The Golden Tower of Seville is situated on the seashore. Its name is not only because it shines golden in the evening or sunset, but also because it is more famous for a story. After Columbus discovered the New World, it was an important task for the Columbus fleet to grab gold, so that every time the fleet returned to the port of Seville, it would deposit a large amount of gold in the tower. In order to prove this legendary story, we should also explore it.
