About Torre Sevilla

At 180.5 meters (592 feet) and 37 stories, the Torre Sevilla is the tallest building in Andalusia and in the city itself. Completed in 2015 by Argentine architect César Pelli, the skyscraper houses mainly offices, along with a hotel and shops. Its striking glass facade reflects the natural light and changes in appearance depending on the time of day. The tower was once controversial because it broke the traditional rule against exceeding the height of the Giralda. Today, however, it is considered a symbol of modern Seville and has left a lasting mark on the city's skyline.
