UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA/PLANT HALL
If you've been to Tampa, you've seen the minarets on top of the University of Tampa's Plant Hall, but you've probably never stood on one and looked around. Pan to the right and along the Hillsborough River you'll see the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, the main library and the Tampa Art Museum followed by the cylindrical NationsBank building and the Barnett Plaza. Pan further and you can see Hillsborough Bay in the distance.
The minarets have been variously described as being of Moorish, Turkish or Middle Eastern style. They sit atop a building that originally opened as the Tampa Bay Hotel in 1891. It became the centerpiece of the University of Tampa campus in 1933.
