Sixth Form Seville Trip

On Friday morning, we headed out early to ‘El Tore Del Oro’ (The Tower Of Gold), an military watchtower from the 13th century which had amazing views overlooking the River Guadalquivir. We took time to look around its Naval Museum at the top of the tower before then heading to another very famous landmark, El Alcazar. We spent hours exploring the huge fortress which was home to a variety of wildlife and it was very fascinating to be able to experience all of the Arabic-inspired architectural features which we had recently been learning about in school. Lastly, we ended the day by visiting Seville’s cathedral – the largest in Spain. We had to climb 35 flights of stairs to reach the top but when we finally got there, the view was very impressive to say the least, providing a suitable ending to a great first day.
