Famous Bell Towers Around the World

Here are some of the most well-known bell towers, also known as campaniles or belfries.
La Giralda, Seville Cathedral in Spain
La Giralda was initially built as a minaret during the Moorish period in Spain, then it was converted into a bell tower belonging to the Seville Cathedral. It dates from the late 12th century and takes its name from the weather vane known as Giraldillo on top of the tower. The construction of the Renaissance bell chamber with 24 bells took place in 1568. La Giralda is a great example of a cultural blend that defines Spanish architecture. Besides, the tower is a part of the largest Gothic cathedral in the world.
