Commentary The Knight of the Mirrors tells don Quixote his deeds; "Una vez me mandó que fuese a desafiar a aquella famosa giganta de Sevilla llamada la Giralda" (14:2). 
Notes 1 - Although it is said "Giralda", what would be the whole bell tower of the Cathedral in Sevilla, Cervantes refers to the sculpure-weather vane known as "Giraldillo" (an allegory of the Triumph of Christian Faith).
