Bofilla, Islamic tower in Carraixet, Spain

The Bofilla Tower rises from the agricultural landscape of Bétera, featuring traditional Islamic architectural elements and a defensive perimeter wall.

Built during the 11th century Taifa of Valencia period, this tower served as part of an Islamic farmhouse complex until its abandonment in the 14th century.

The excavated site reveals urban structures including houses and baths, providing information about medieval Islamic settlements in the Valencia region.

Access to the tower requires coordination with local authorities due to its protected status as a Cultural Interest Asset of Spain.

Archaeological excavations have uncovered 80 percent of the original farmhouse, making it one of the most extensively studied Islamic settlements in Valencia.
