Seville, like most Spanish cities, has ohe distinguishing object of more interest than all others. It is the tower, one of the finest In the world, whose beautiful proportions rise grandly above the city's roofs. The tower was erected in 1196, and was consecrated by the Moors to use as a muezzin tower, from which the faithful were called to prayer In the adjoining mosque. When driven out of Seville In 1238 the followers of Mahomet wished to destroy this tower, rather than have It fall into the hands of Christians.
