Cajasol Tower, Office skyscraper in La Cartuja district, Seville, Spain.
Cajasol Tower is an office building in Seville's La Cartuja district with 37 floors above ground and 3 underground levels. The structure includes a five-star hotel, two four-story podium buildings, and creates commercial pedestrian areas at ground level.
Construction began in 2008 under architect César Pelli's direction and was completed in 2015. The project transformed the post-Expo 92 area into a modern business complex.
The tower's name changed with its owners: it was called Torre Cajasol, then Torre Pelli after architect César Pelli, before the official Torre Sevilla. Its construction drew strong citizen opposition and led UNESCO to consider placing Seville's historic heritage on its endangered list over the visual impact, though it ultimately declined. The site previously held the Pavilion of Discoveries, destroyed by fire in February 1992; artist Eduardo Arroyo protested its later demolition.
The tower entrance is on Odiel street, and the complex sits on a 59,000 m² plot in the southern part of the Isla de la Cartuja, near the Patrocinio and Inca Garcilaso avenues. The two four-story podium buildings curve to frame a plaza open to the north and south, narrowing into a pedestrian commercial street at the center. The shopping center and the Eurostars hotel occupy separate parts of the complex, and the CaixaForum stands beside the tower.
At approximately 180 meters tall, the structure ranks among the highest in Andalusia and visually dominates the area. The attached Eurostars Torre Sevilla hotel makes the location an anchor point for business travelers and tourists in the neighborhood.
