Stairs

I visited the Giralda Tower in 1996 with my wife who uses a wheelchair. It definitely does have a short flight of stairs at the top of the 34 ramps. Trust me. I carried her up the stairs with the help of two English tourists after we figured out we had a common language. We tried babbling at each other in Spanish first. A Japanese tourist videotaped our efforts and when we reached the top applauded and cried.

Architect

Who designed the Giralda? My original source just said Jabir. Some others say Jabir Ibn Afiah. Somebody else inserted, with a reference, that the architect was Ahmad ibn Baso. Can anyone clarify this contradiction?--Bkwillwm 01:07, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will do some more research but as far as I know, ibn Baso (or ben Basso, depending of transliteration used) was the alarife (not totally equivalent of the concept of architect). See [1] [2] [3][4]. Nevertheless, he stopped working on it in 1176. So ibn Afiah may have taken the job up then. Not sure. I will get back to you on this. E Asterion ^{u talking to me?} 07:19, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Giralda madison square.jpg

Image:Giralda madison square.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

File:La Giralda, Seville, Spain - Sep 2009.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:La Giralda, Seville, Spain - Sep 2009.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 22, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-03-22. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 23:19, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

The Giralda is a 104.5 m (343 ft) tall bell tower for the Seville Cathedral in Seville, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a minaret in 1198, when Seville was ruled by the Almohad Caliphate. After the city was taken by the Christians in the Reconquista, the city's mosque was converted to a church. The upper third of the structure was completed during the Spanish Renaissance.Photo: David Iliff

Arabic translation

I'd like to discuss the vandalism here. User 114.42.195.82 is deleting the Arabic equivalent of the name on all language versions. The article was already half-locked on Czech Wikipedia because it. I think the Arabic name should be also mentioned, because this tower was built as a part of Moors culture in Spain which was Arabic and wrote in Arabic. Later, it became part of Christian church. So, can you please say you opinion? Should we mention the Arabic name? --Martin2035 (talk) 17:39, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No image exists of the initial mosque, later used as a cathedral?

This does not make sense

"Dating from the Reconquest of 1248 to the 16th century and built by the Moors."

I fear this does not make sense. JF42 (talk) 10:28, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
