Torre de los Perdigones (y cámara oscura)

This guide to the Torre de los Perdigones in Seville traces the brick chimney's original purpose, a lead-shot factory run from the 1880s by foundryman Manuel de Mata y Munoz, supplying the pellets that filled the city's hunters' shotguns. You'll hear how molten lead was dropped, sieved and cooled into shot by the ton, and what the tower's role says about Seville's kitchens and countryside. It closes on what replaced the furnace at the top of the shaft once the works went cold.
