Tour de l'Argenterie, Fortified tower in Seville, Spain

The octagonal Torre de la Plata stands near the Guadalquivir River, featuring robust stone walls and arched windows from its original 13th-century construction.

Built by Almohads around 1220, the tower functioned as part of Seville's defense system alongside Torre del Oro to protect the city from naval attacks.

The structure changed its name to Torre de la Victoria after Ferdinand III's conquest, yet locals maintained the traditional Silver Tower designation.

Located at Calle Santander 15, the tower remains accessible throughout the year and visitors can contact +34 955 292 577 for additional information.

In 1868, the tower separated from Torre del Oro and became hidden by surrounding buildings until restoration work began for the 1992 Universal Expo.
