The Torre del Oro is a dodecagonal military watchtower in Seville, southern Spain. It was erected by the Almohad Caliphate in order to control access to Seville via the Guadalquivir river. Constructed in the first third of the 13th century, the tower served as a prison during the Middle Ages. Inside the tower is now a naval museum over various floors, with flags, maps, scale models of ships, diving equipment and other maritime memorabilia, as well as portraits of illustrious naval figures and documents related to overseas discoveries.
