Giralda de Badajoz, Neo-Mudejar tower in Plaza de la Soledad, Badajoz, Spain.
The Giralda of Badajoz stands as a scale replica of Seville's bell tower, featuring ceramic tiles, decorative flowerpots, and ornate metalwork throughout its structure.
Constructed in 1935 by architects Adel Pinna and Martin Corral, the tower replaced a 17th-century hermitage that previously occupied the location in Plaza de la Soledad.
The tower incorporates neo-Arab architectural elements from the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition in Seville, topped with a statue of Mercury representing commerce.
The building now houses the Telephone Museum of Extremadura, which opened its doors to visitors in 2021, offering exhibits about telecommunications history.
Originally built as the headquarters of La Giralda Stores, the property transferred ownership to the telephone company after years of management by the Cancho Garcia family.
