Convent of Santa Clara
C. Becas, s/n, Casco Antiguo, 41002 Sevilla
Medieval brick and stone watchtower from twelve fifty two, enclosed within a convent garden.
This guide to the tower inside the Convent of Santa Clara in Seville opens by questioning a number every guidebook repeats about its height, and what that says about how facts get copied without checking. It traces the tower back to 1252 and its builder, Fadrique, a son of King Ferdinand the Third, reading the shift from stone to brick as a budget decision and the mix of Romanesque and Gothic windows as a style caught between two eras. Look closely at the seam where the stone gives way to brick, a budget decision made seven hundred years ago.
