The Tower of El Capricho is covered with beautiful ceramic tiles that alternate between bright yellow sunflowers, and green subtle leaves.

While these columns provide support for the tower, the bright white stone also acts as a great contrast from the red brick and vibrant ceramic tiles that encase the exterior of this building.
