The Sevilla Tower (Spanish: Torre Sevilla) is an office skyscraper under construction in Seville, Spain, that is being built under the masterplan of Puerto Triana. Known until 2015 as Cajasol Tower or Pelli Tower, its construction started in March 2008 and it is expected to be finished in early 2016.[1] The tower will have a height of 180.5 metres (592 ft) and have 40 floors. The tower will have an office usage with the entrance to the tower located off Odiel street. The tower, built as Cajasol's headquarters, will be the tallest building in Andalusia and the city of Seville.
The tower is being built in La Cartuja, the former zone of the Universal Exposition  that took place in Seville between April and October 1992. It is  located next to the river in an area being redeveloped since the early  2000s. The tower will be flanked by two four story podium buildings also  designed by César Pelli.  The curved edges of the podium buildings will define a plaza that opens  on the north and south and narrows at the center, creating a  pedestrian-scaled commercial street.
It had been reported that UNESCO was considering putting the Seville's monuments which are classified as World Heritage Sites (the Cathedral, Alcazar and Archivo de Indias) into the "Threatened List", because of the tower's “negative visual impact” on the old town skyline of Seville.[2] The proposal was rejected at the meeting of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Saint Petersburg  in 2012 but the meeting regretted that work on the tower had not been  suspended, as requested by the Committee at its previous session, and  that no discussions or consultations had been undertaken to consider how  the project could be improved and any possible impact further reduced.[3]

What a stunner! Seems odd that there aren't any other skyscrapers around it, or are they behind it out of frame?

Yeah it's a bit strange because there are no other skyscraper or building as big as this one, in fact there is a local law forbidding to build anything higher than "La Giralda" which is the cathedral of Seville, so there are not many tall buildings.

Yeah...it sounds great, even if there is no snow in the picture...I guess as long as there is any subject in it telling the viewer that it has to do with Christmas season, then it will be ok...
