Torre de Mangana, Stone tower in Plaza de Mangana, Cuenca, Spain
The rectangular stone tower reaches upward from Plaza de Mangana with a municipal clock positioned at its highest point in central Cuenca.
Originally built in the 16th century upon an Arab citadel site, the tower underwent multiple reconstructions while serving as a watchtower near a former synagogue.
The tower holds the designation of Bien de Interés Cultural, representing centuries of architectural evolution from Islamic to Christian influences in central Spain.
Visitors can observe the tower's exterior structure and hear its clock chimes while exploring the surrounding Plaza de Mangana throughout the day.
The structure functions as the municipal timekeeper for Cuenca residents, maintaining its original purpose through centuries of urban development.
