Golden Tower
It was built in the first third of the thirteenth century, in the last moments of the Taifa kingdoms. Its name in Arabic was al-Azajal Borg, who came to express the golden tiles covering the sun was gleaming like gold and reflected in the river damaging the eye. Legend has it that the Golden Tower served as a refuge for ladies who wooed King Pedro I the Cruel, whose most famous affair was that of Dona Aldonza, sister Dona Maria Coronel, who lived here in the Golden Tower, while his wife, Maria de Padilla, lived at the Alcazar. Later became the memorial chapel and prison.
