Fodor's Review:
A 12-sided tower on the banks of the Guadalquivir built by the Moors in 1220 to complete the city's ramparts, it served to close off the harbor when a chain was stretched across the river from its base to another tower on the opposite bank. In 1248, Admiral Ramón de Bonifaz broke through this barrier, and Ferdinand III captured Seville. The tower houses a small naval museum.
