Giralda de Badajoz, Neo-Mudejar tower in Plaza de la Soledad, Badajoz, Spain.
Giralda Tower is a scaled-down replica of Seville's famous bell tower, featuring ornate ceramic tiles, decorative flowerpots, and detailed metalwork across its facade. The neo-Mudéjar structure stands prominently in Plaza de la Soledad.
Architects Adel Pinna and Martín Corral constructed the tower in 1935 on the site of a 17th-century hermitage. This project reflected the Neo-Mudéjar movement, which blended Moorish traditions with contemporary design.
The tower displays Moorish building details that came from the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition in Seville. At its top sits a statue of Mercury, symbolizing commerce and trade.
The interior now houses a Telephone Museum, with exhibits focused on telecommunications history and development. Plan your visit around standard opening hours and check current conditions beforehand.
The building was originally constructed as a department store headquarters for Giralda Stores and operated for years under the family management of the Cancho García household. It later passed to a telecommunications company that established its museum inside.
