Seville

The Giralda, originally the minaret of a 12th century mosque, later reconfigured as the bell tower of the Cathedral. 
The view from the Giralda, currently the city's highest viewpoint, overlooking the enormous Cathedral. 

This former tobacco factory and its 'cigarette girls' inspired Bizet's Carmen. It's the second largest building in Spain.

Plaza de Espana, built for the 1929 international fair, now serving as an ostentatious monument in the Parque de Maria Luisa.
