Castroverde Tower, Medieval castle tower in Castroverde, Spain.
The stone tower stands atop a hill in Castroverde, offering views across the surrounding Galician countryside and remaining walls of the former fortress.
The 14th-century fortification served as a defensive structure along the Primitive Way, one of the northern routes of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage.
The tower received designation as a Bien de Interés Cultural in 1994 and forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Routes of Santiago de Compostela.
Visitors can reach the tower by following signposted paths from the center of Castroverde village, located in the province of Lugo.
The structure maintains its original medieval architectural elements, including defensive features that demonstrate military construction techniques from the period.
