The Almohads, the Moroccan dynasty that occupied Spain during the 12th century, built this prominent religious monument between 1184 and 1196 on the site where Seville Cathedral stands today. Following its construction, it served two principal purposes: calling the faithful to prayer and acting as an observation point over the city. One of three great minarets constructed by the Almohads, it is considered to be the finest of all, as well as an excellent example of Almohad architecture.
