The Torre del Oro "WAS" an important icon back when explorers came from the New World and dropped their treasures off; however, don't expect to see any of these treasures still at the tower. The place is now a NAVAL museum filled with naval trinkets and parts of ships that seemed to have been purchased from Ebay or washed up... More

This tower is right beside the river and gives you lovely views of the city and along the river. It is right next to where you pickup the sightseeing buses. More

The cost was 2EUR/person but there was not so many things to see inside indeed (some kind of naval museum nowadays). I think on Tuesdays, the entry is free so you might want to get there that day. There are 91 steps to climb to the top which then, offers a nice view on the cathedral, the Guadalquivir and a... More
