For centuries, it was believed that its golden glow was due to a covering of tiles or to the treasures that were supposedly kept inside. However, studies carried out in 2005 revealed that the tower's characteristic glow comes from a mixture of\u00a0<strong>lime and pressed straw<\/strong>\u00a0used in its construction.<br \/><br \/>Another popular myth holds that a thick chain connected the base of the tower to the other side of the river to prevent enemy ships from entering. In reality, what existed was a floating gangway formed by ships linked by a chain, which was key to the defence of the city during the Castilian siege in 1248.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39371c10 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"39371c10\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e88253e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3e88253e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a2dd86 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8a2dd86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Gold Tower Throughout History<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-719c5926 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"719c5926\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8309680 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8309680\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After losing its defensive function, the tower was used for various purposes.
