Tower of the Perdigones is a remnant of San Francisco de Paula, a manufacturer of munitions plus lead pellets and products. Their smelting factory was built in 1890. There is now an observation deck on top of the 148 foot Torre de los Perdigones. This vantage point provides spectacular views. To the west you will see Puente la Barqueta crossing the Guadalquivir River towards Cartuja Island. In the east is the historic La Macarena. This neighborhood also inspired Los del Rio to write the dance song “Macarena.”
