Casa y Torre de los Lujanes, Gothic mansion in Plaza de la Villa, Madrid, Spain
The Casa y Torre de los Lujanes consists of a medieval tower and residential complex with a horseshoe-shaped doorway and central courtyard.
Built in the 15th century, Pedro de Lujan acquired the property for 181,000 maravedies and transformed it into a residence for his noble family.
The building incorporates Mudejar architectural elements, combining Islamic and Christian designs through its brick and masonry construction methods.
The mansion houses the Royal Academy of Moral and Political Sciences and the Royal Economic Society, located at Plaza de la Villa 2-3.
In the 19th century, the tower served as an optical telegraph station connecting Madrid with Aranjuez due to its superior height.
