Mirador Tower on Cartuja Island resembles a rocket launch pad. The former Navigation Pavilion was the Schindler Tower when Guillermo Consuegra designed it for the 1992 Universal Exposition. It is now an observation deck. An elevator ride to the top of the 213 foot structure takes only 24 seconds. You can go down the same way or some people descend by rope. At the base is the Pabellon Museum of Navigation. The exhibits highlight Spain’s maritime accomplishments from Columbus’s discovery of the New World through the 17th century.
