Torre de la Plata, Military tower in historic district, Seville, Spain.

The Torre de la Plata stands as an octagonal tower constructed with brick walls, reaching a height of 36 meters in central Seville.

The Almohad Caliphate erected this defensive structure in the 13th century as part of the fortification system connecting to the Torre del Oro.

The name Torre de la Plata originates from the silvery reflection created when sunlight touches the tower's surface from the Guadalquivir River.

The tower sits within walking distance of major landmarks including the Royal Shipyards, Seville Cathedral, and the Royal Alcazar Palace.

The structure underwent restoration in 1992 after periods of abandonment, during which vegetation had overtaken portions of the building.
