Spain

The 186th tallest tower in the world

m

The Seville Shipyard (Atarazanas de Sevilla) is a medieval shipyard in the city of Seville (Andalusia, Spain) that operated from the 13th to the 15th century. Composed of seventeen naves, the building was connected to the Guadalquivir River by a stretch of sand. On March 13, 1969, the State gave Monumento Histórico Artístico status to the Shipyards, and on June 18, 1985, the Maestranza de Artillería de Sevilla (which includes the seven naves and other structures, such as a front pavilion) was added to the Bien de Interés Cultural category of monuments.
