    Good job konceptual99 you guessed correctly it was the Giralda (Replica) in Kansas City, Kansas.


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giralda_(Kansas_City)

    The Giralda is the name of a landmark in Kansas City, Missouri. It stands 138 feet (42 m) tall at the corner of W. 47th St. and J.C. Nichols Parkway.[1]

    When urban developer J.C. Nichols visited Seville in Spain in the 1920s, he was so impressed with the 12th-century Moorish tower of Giralda that he built a half-scale replica in the then new Country Club Plaza. The tower was officially christened by the mayor of Seville, Felix Morena de la Cova, along with an official delegate[2] in 1967,[3] the same year in which the two cities became sister cities.


    The Original Giralda tower was the minaret of the 12th-century Muslim mosque; a Christian belfry was added in 1568.

    OK - another less than helpful image...

    The building is in a major European capital city.

    Indeed. With Barcelona an hour or so away one is really spoilt for art and architecture in that part of Spain.
