Sevilla Hotels with Outdoor Pool

The Giralda Tower. For a long time from 711 to 1248 Seville was under the influence of the Moslem, which, of course, affected the look of the city. One of the most famous Islam monuments is the Giralda Tower that, by the way, serves as the symbol of the Seville. The tower is 97 meters tall. Primordially it was the Mauritanian minaret. From the viewing platform of the Giralda Tower one can enjoy the marvelous view on the city. In the 14th century they changed the Mauritanian cupolas on the top of the tower for the Christian symbols. And in 1568 the Giralda got the chapel tower, projected by Hernan Ruiz.

The Santa Cruz area. Being Jewish some time ago, the Santa Cruz area is an ideal place for having walks along the narrow light streets with lots of bars and restaurants, where one can try the delicious tapas. By the way, this word was first used in Seville, so it's not surprising that it's served almost everywhere. By the order of King Ferdinand III the Jewish had no right to settle down anywhere but in this area. In the 15th century the Christian came to power and Santa Cruz was turned into a working class area. Nowadays it's an interesting touristic place with narrow streets and picturesque alleyways.
