Structural Analysis of “La Giralda”, Bell Tower of the Seville Cathedral

La Giralda, the iconic bell tower of Seville Cathedral, has demonstrated remarkable structural resilience over four centuries, withstanding significant external forces including earthquakes. A comprehensive analysis reveals its geometric and foundational design as key factors in its longevity. The study examines La Giralda's gravitational load capacity, resistance to wind, and seismic stability using modern engineering techniques. This research provides valuable insights into the monument's enduring structural integrity, offering a deeper understanding of its architectural and engineering achievements.
