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 🤳 😀

This is a great landmark and the view from the top is fantastic. There is lots of history surrounding this tower and definitely worth touring the inside and learning about how it came about. It is amazing when the tower was built and what the purpose of it was back in its era.

Free access with voluntary contribution (small amount of fee) to the navy. Do not miss the display area on the ground floor next to the entrance for going up. It tells the historical story of Seville and this tower - very interesting and fascinating. On the top of the tower there is amazing view of the river and the lovely city. The sunshine in the winter makes the city bright and soft. Definitely must-go in Seville. Also it is nice to walk along the river bank! Some cruises start here!

They had pictures of the artwork right outside and were showing them for free. What a great idea, and I would love to see more museums do this. It's a great way to get people interested, and then they will go buy a ticket to see the rest of the artwork.

It is not far from the cathedral, and it is free to go in, but you can pay €3 donation on the voluntary basic. There are some exhibitions about the naval history of Sevilla. When you get up to the top, you will see the city from the stairs. Suggest to come around sunset hours the whole city just looks stunning. 30 minutes, is enough for this attraction.

Torre del Oro is a Moorish tower built to protect the harbor of Seville in 1220. The height of the tower is 37 meters. Once there was a similar tower on the other side of the river, and when necessary, they stretched a chain between the towers to prohibit the passage of ships. There is a small museum in the tower and an observation deck at the very top. There is a free visit time.

A really quick and informative attraction - go see it on a Monday when the admission is free! It has a great synopsis in its museum of the economic history of Seville (and its maritime history as well of course). The climb up the tower offers great views of the river, the NAO Victoria ship, and the Cathedral/city skyline.

Worth visiting place. Next to the river and it has some nice views. The exterior is more attractive than the interior. The views are a bit blocked by the little columns on the roof but still worth to climb and have a look around.

Lovely little tower gem in Seville. Includes a small but very good maritime naval museum with scale models and gold historical info on pivotal figures and journeys. Great views all around from the top. A 3 euro donation is recommended at the entrance.

We visited the Torre del Oro during March 2020 whilst Spain was in lockdown due to Covid 19. Unfortunately the Torre del Oro was closed during our visit so we were only able to view it from the outside. It is a nice looking tower that stands by the river, and we intend to visit properly when we return back to Seville.

Nice naval museum with outlook tower. Mondays are free.

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.

Beautiful place. Definitely a highlight of Seville and the waterfront is right beside it. A nice place to sit and relax for a while. €10 to climb the tower. It is also a good place to go to catch a bus to just about anywhere in Seville (including the airport).

Beautiful tower and walk along the river. With an enriched history and beautiful location, it is an ideal sight to see and visit in the city of Sevilla. The architectural design of the tower is very visible from afar. A great sight.

Medieval fortified tower that used to protect the port of Seville. You can tour the inside for a fee of 3 euro. or you can just admire it for free from the outside. Its located along the riverbank walking area and makes for a pretty good landmark.

nice view on the top!

(Translated by Google) Its construction begins on March 30, 1220, being finished on February 24, 1221, almost a year later. With its construction, the defensive system of the Almohad city was completed and it was the most important point, since it defended the port. It was built by order of the Almohad governor of Seville, Abù l-Ulà. It closed the passage to the Arenal by means of a section of wall that connected it with the Torre de la Plata and through the current Santander street with the Torre de Abd el Aziz or Torre de Santo Tomás, and from there to the Alcázar.

Closed at the moment (June 2021), it’s not possible to go in or up From the outside it’s still a really nice tower right next to the river floating through Sevilla. Next to the tower you can buy tickets for the hop on hop off bus or a river cruise, which also start in a limited distance from the tower. I would recommend to rather go through the city by foot or bike though since it’s cheaper and you experience it better and renting a kayak is also preferable to a river cruise since it’s not very long.

A dodecagonal military watchtower erected in the 13th century designed to control access to Sevilla along the river. It houses an interesting naval history museum inside and also offers good views of the cathedral and river from the top of the tower.

Took an ad hoc walk to this place during a 4 night stay in Seville. Hadn't read up too much about it beforehand, just saw reference in my guide book, so took things more at face value. Pleasantly surprised. Great location by the river and just after the Sun was rising. On entering realised it was a maritime museum full of interesting and important Spanish history. Some of the details and information are linked to my job so had a great connection too. Hadn't realised Spain had been a world leader in maritime (sailing, exploring and events) for some 200 years. Only knew of its importance in key wars and explorations. Interesting to learn the purpose and uses for this innocent looking building. You can go up inside the tower and see great views from the top. You are protected by clear screens stopping you going close to edge of, or sitting on ramparts. It doesn't spoil things as you can still see over, or climb the turret steps. Unable to go up inside the turret on top as locked.

A wonderful naval / maritime museum located in a 13th century watch tower that was built as a defensive tower for Seville. It is free to enter any day (they accept donations) and you can walk in and visit the museum which has several scale models. The highlight is the roof which gives you a panoramic view of the city and the river. Highly recommend that you visit this place! You can also walk / cycle by the river and it is a perfect place to view the evening sun.

I have not been on the Giralda or metropol parasol so I cannot compare the view from them, but if you want to cut the cost on your travel I would definitely recommend Torre del Oro as a sunset viewpoint. Went up there on 6:30ish and the view of the sky there was just gorgeous.

When my wife and I arrived in Seville, our first walk along the river was to Torre del Oro. It is a twelve-cornered military observation tower from the 13th century. It stands in Seville, on the left bank of the Guadalquivir River. Today it houses the Maritime Museum. The tower is known for its golden glow, after which it got its name.

The Torre Del Oro (The Gold Tower) Sights The Torre del Oro, one of Seville’s most recognisable landmarks, means the gold tower. It dominates the Guadalquivir river banks and it’s probably one of the most photographed sights of the city. You can enjoy some spectacular views from the top so bring your camera with you. The Torre del Oro was built in the 13th century (1220-1221) during the reign of the Taifa Kings, a time when Spain was invaded by the Moors. The main body has a 12-side floor, whereas the upper part has a 6-side floor and was an addition of Pedro I of Castile (the same that ordered the construction of the Mudejar Palace). The circular top end was added during the 18th century (around 1760). General Information Address: Paseo de Cristobal Colon Entrance: General admission: 3 € Reduced ticket (Seniors and Students with proof of status): 1.50 € Free on Mondays and for children under 6 years Opening hours: Mondays to Fridays 9:30 to 19:00; Saturdays & Sundays 10:30 to 19:00. Closed in August. It is currently a Naval Museum. Among the things that you can see are prints, nautical charts, models, navigational instruments and ancient and historical documents. It showcases the naval history of Seville, the importance of the Guadalquivir river and the footprint of the illustrious Spanish marine history. The History Of The Torre Del Oro Being part of the city walls, its purpose was to protect Seville and prevent the Christians to attack it from the river. Actually, there was a twin tower on the opposite bank of the river (Triana) in order to draw a large chain to block the River Guadalquivir. Unfortunately, nothing remains of the Gold Tower’s twin sister, probably because it was destroyed by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. The origin of the name, Torre del Oro, is still uncertain. Some claim it is because the tower was used as a storage depot for precious metals (mainly gold and silver) and other riches brought to Spain from the Indies (i.e. the Americas). However, after its restoration in 2005, experts discovered that the building was covered with a lime and straw mortar, giving it this golden reflection. Currently, it is one of the symbols of Seville although it has been traditionally underestimated compared to the Giralda tower. However, Sevillians have always proved its love and have saved it from demolition in many occasions. After Fernando III of Castile conquered the city in 1248, the tower was completely abandoned. In the 16th century it almost collapsed and some works kept it standing. The earthquake of 1755 caused serious damages to the structure and in 1760 an architect planned to level it down. The inhabitants of the city protested against and wrote a letter to the King, who finally decided to save it. During the 1868 Revolution, part of the city walls were put up for sale and the tower was again threatened with demolition. Once more Sevillians intervened and saved the Torre del Oro, resulting in a symbol of fight and survival. The tower has been used as a fortress, a chapel, a warehouse, a prison and even as the Guadalqu

Attractive tower next to the river. It's also possible to go up to the top for great views of the area.

Piece oh history good bustling walkway near the water, also good food market up ahead

Entry is 3euros which gives you access to a small naval museum that covers Spanish naval history with lots of replicas of old paintings and nautical instruments. The ground floor covers the history of the tower itself and has lots of maps and painting of how Seville used to look like which I thought was the best bit. The view from the top is nice, especially for getting a few over to the cathedral.

Interesting place to visit when in Seville. Great views along the river when up on top. Worth a visit inside with some interesting history.

The famous Torre del oro or golden tower as it was reputedly covered in gold at one point in the rich history Seville. Lovely views from the top.Plesent & helpful staff at the ticket booth.

Worth a photo near the Torre del Oro, because it is a symbol of Seville's birth as the place of power and trade, leading to the discovery (and colonizing) of the New World. This tower guarded the river and a chain was drawn from it to the other side, to block the harbor. Worth a look for the history lesson!

Was just a day trip, so didn't get to see everything on offer. Some of the questions were quite big, but you have a choice to wait or not. Plenty of traditional restaurants and relaxed authentic atmosphere.

Free entry on Mondays (Lunes). Nice history of Spanish navy and conquistadors. Not much else to see and better panoramic views elsewhere.

Interesting insite about the city and the tower. nice view over the city

(Translated by Google) The Torre del Oro in Seville is an albarrana tower located on the left bank of the Guadalquivir river, in the city of Seville. Its height is 36 meters. Possibly its name in Arabic was Bury al-dahab, Borg al Azahar, or Borg-al-Azajal in reference to its golden brilliance reflected on the river. During the restoration works of 2005, this gloss, hitherto a false legend attributed to a tile coating, was shown to be due to a mixture of lime mortar and pressed straw. It is a tower formed by three bodies. The first, twelve-cornered body was built between 1220 and 1221 by order of the Almohad governor of Seville, Abù l-Ulà. As for the second body, also dodecagonal, it was ordered to be built by Pedro l el Cruel in the 14th century, a hypothesis that has been confirmed by archaeological studies. Finally, the upper body, cylindrical and topped with a golden dome, was built in 1760 by the military engineer Sebastián Van der Borcht after the earthquake. Lisbon 1755.

Durante las obras de restauración de 2005, se demostró que este brillo, que hasta entonces una falsa leyenda atribuía a un revestimiento de azulejos, era debido a una mezcla de mortero de cal y paja prensada. Es una torre formada por tres cuerpos, El primer cuerpo, dodecagonal fue construido entre 1220 y 1221 por orden del gobernador almohade de Sevilla, Abù l-Ulà.

This is one of Sevilla's landmark. Beautiful by day and night

It’s free to visit on Mondays. The history is nicer than the views from the top.

It's a tower ....so for being a tower it deserves a 5-star rating...

Very interesting place to visit with an affordable ticket price (3 euros in 2019). Has a lot of information about the Spanish navy history, including ship models. Also has a souvenir store inside. Amazing place to take city pictures.

In addition to the views at the top, the tower has a fascinating exhibit on the shipping and naval history of Seville.

This tower is well worth a visit. First off, the climb up is short and easy. The view from the top is georgeos and picture-worthy. Finally, the naval museum is excellent. It is not a huge and exhausting production. Rather, it is an intimate, smallish exhibit going back to Spain's past as a naval superpower. The exhibit culminates in a very concincing video presentation of modern day NATO naval exercises. Thumbs up!

The torre del Oro is a beautifu and imposing tower on the banks of the river Guadalquivir. Before a fortress, today it adorns the city. It is near and on the opposite side of Plaza de Toros. It's worth the visit.

A beautiful place to visit and take the most spectacular photos from Guadalquivir River and the Paseo C. Colón

The tower is not so high, so I decided not to go up. A nice place to make some nice pictures to include the river which otherwise would look like any other rivers. Anyway it's a historical tower, so there's more than meets the eye.

It's nothing extraordinary if you don't know the history. Keep an eye on your bags or luggage as there are many thieves ( they are not local ). In the second picture this is detective Eduardo who helped me to get my bag back after some thieves took it.

Nice Corner of Sevilla along the River we often use it as a Meeting Point

The Area is amazing for walking taki g pictures solo or with family and friends. Also accessible to some Christmas festival with a lot of kids games.

I walked from the West Bank of the Guadalquivir River to the Torre del Oro. Most folks spend their time on the east bank. The West Bank though gives a true taste and vibes of the Barber of Seville. It feels like Rosina was going to pop out one of those windows any time.

Historic tower that’s in incredible condition. Views of the city and the river are epic and there’s a great museum inside

It’s a nice place to visit, the naval museum is pretty cool, tells you about the history. Admission says it’s free on Monday, I went on Monday and queued up to get in. It turns out it’s force to donate, minimum donation is €1…. Comparing with the normal admission €3 seems doesn’t matter if you go on Monday or not. Probably better to go on other day so there will be less people. Security guard isn’t that friendly when I was there.

The tower is a remnant of Spain’s Muslim past. A guided tour gave us a nice overview of its history. The tower is in a nice location adjacent to the river. It’s close to the old city.

We visited the Torre del Oro (Gold Tower) on a sunny day and I was amazed by its beauty and history. The tower is a 13th-century military watchtower that was built by the Almohads to defend Seville from the Christian invaders. It has a unique shape with 12 sides on the lower part and 6 sides on the upper part. It is called the Gold Tower because it used to shine with a golden reflection from the river. The tower is now a naval museum that displays interesting exhibits about Seville's maritime past. I learned a lot about the voyages of discovery, the trade with the Americas, and the role of the Guadalquivir river in the city's development. The museum has models, maps, charts, instruments, and documents that illustrate the naval history of Seville. The best part of the visit was climbing to the top of the tower and enjoying the panoramic views of the river and the city. I could see the bullring, the cathedral, the bridges, and the boats. It was a breathtaking sight that made me appreciate the beauty and culture of Seville. I highly recommend visiting the Torre del Oro if you are in Seville. It is a great attraction that combines history, art, and nature. It is also very affordable and easy to access. ² It is one of Seville's most iconic landmarks and a symbol of its heritage.

Inside is a small but wonderfully informative maritime museum with ship models from different time periods. Entry is free, but a voluntary donation is appreciated. Great views from the top of the city and river.

Great hangout place by the river. Not too far from the city center but can still be quiet. Great river with clean, calm water. Fish can be seen on good days. Boat tours allow you to enjoy scenery on both the banks. The actual tower is closed to climb up but has impressive structure and detail carving to add to the beauty of the tower.

Small but good maritime museum and viewing point of the river and surrounding area. Good audio tour included (bring earphones as it's via your smartphone). Good value considering it's €3 an adult, and probably about an hour's worth of time spent.time and money well spent.

Sunset time was perfect to go and watch color change in the sky. Not a lot of places to go if you are thinking for a bite or drink along the river but it's a nice to place to just chill and pass time with some friends. It's a short walk to everything.

Important historical tower with a small museum within. Tower Vista available.

Awesome view of sevilla 🤗 You will need to donate about 3 euros to go inside the tower and it is absolutely worth it! I bought a souvenir coin too!

Worth visiting. Spanish naval history was fascinating. Very well put together experience splendid view.

This was a cool little museum with an excellent view from the top area. I wish I would have had more time to look around it was a brief stopover while waiting for a walking tour.

Nice landmark to stop by while exploring Seville. Has a (free) museum inside, and climbing to the top offers a good view of the river dividing the city.

The first sight of Torre del Oro standing in it's golden glow was magical! We arrived in Seville and was going out for dinner towards the Guadalquivir river bank when we spotted this massive structure. Nobody knows the real reason for the Moors to build this unusual structure. One theory is to control the ships sailing up and down the river and to collect taxes. They say another building similar to this was on the other side of the river and the two structures were joined together by massive chains to stop pirate sailing up the river. Now this is a maritime museum.

The Torre del Oro in Seville is a fascinating piece of history. As a visitor, I was captivated by its ancient presence on the riverbank. Imagining its role as a protective gateway to the city's past was intriguing. The name "Tower of Gold" felt magical, reminding me of the shimmering river reflections. Exploring the tower's museum, I learned about Seville's maritime adventures, enriching my understanding of the city's roots. Standing beside the Guadalquivir River, the Torre del Oro felt like a time portal, connecting me to Seville's maritime past and offering a unique perspective on its history.

Another really cool landmark in Sevilla. Definitely worth it, but also not so special. My recommendation is to put this on you walk and walk past it, but its not worth a detour. Very interesting though and read up on its history to fully appreciate.

fascinating & interesting attraction. Lots of Spanish navel history. Artefacts are fantastic, the maps are amazing and give a totally different view.

Quite nice little museum. Easy climb to the top with nice views. Informative about the Spanish Navy.

Try to search about Torre del pro before you visit , when you get there everything will be make more sense for you . Basically the torre del oro used to be the place where they used to keep and count the oro ( gold) before they send to the bank . I hear different stories about the torre .

Go there. Why? Bc you get a "really? wow, interesting" moment. At least if you have grown up in a harbour. The museum is bigger than it seems, and they put a lot of effort into some things you can remember. The price 🤯 too low. It's a donation, you can pay more if you want.

Never went into & up in the tower due to huge a queue, wasn't waiting in 34 degrees, but the tower itself outside is impressive architecture, €3 entry, but free on a Monday, probably why the huge queues.

A maritime museum and watchtower. A must see in Seville. Entrance is free but a donation is welcomed. Beautiful views pver the river.

Great reproduction of the Santa Maria near the Bull fighting ring. Amazing to think of the voyage on this ship.

Free Mondays, but a “voluntary donation” of EUR 3 is hoped for (expected, though not mandatory) to help the Navy maintain the museum and tower. Upstairs is an exhibition about Spain’s seafaring history, exploration and naval battles. Climb the remaining steps to the lookout level. A small exhibition about the tower’s construction is on the ground floor. Museum panels are in Spanish and English. (Nov. 2023)

What l find interesting, more than the museum and the items presented, is the architecture of the building itself. It marks the simple but yet the fascinating Moorish (Almohad) design.
