7. The Tower of the Perdigones
Let’s be sensible, the Torre de los Perdigones is not one of the tallest buildings in Seville. Mind you, the goodness of this historic space is not few either. It is one of the few industrial buildings in the capital, built in 1885 as part of the old factory of San Francisco de Paula, popularly known as the Fábrica de Perdigones.
It was one of the many foundries in the city, dedicated to the manufacture of pellets, bullets and other lead products. From those times is preserved this tower, which serves as a modest viewpoint of Seville and also has a camera obscura, an optical instrument that “draws” with light.
💸 Going up to the viewpoint of the Torre de los Perdigones costs 2€.
