Torre de ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz

Today: Torre de Abd el Aziz, Sevilla

Place: Išbīliya (Sevilla)
Kind: Tower
Built: 12th century
What remains: Standing
Visiting: Not checked

A hexagonal Almohad tower, a corner of the wall that joined the Alcázar, where the Avenida de la Constitución meets calle Santo Tomás. It was thought to be 13th century, like the Torre del Oro, but excavations in 2000 and 2001 tie it to the enlargement of the Alcázar and put it in the mid 12th. Its name recalls the emir ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Mūsà, who lived in Seville from 714 to 719.
