Torre Espioca, Medieval defense tower in Picassent, Spain.
The rectangular stone tower measures 4.95 by 5.9 meters at its base and reaches a height of 16.77 meters with arrow slits on all sides.
The tower, built in the 11th century as part of the Almohad defense system, was later captured by King James I of Aragon and given to Roderic Sabata.
The construction methods incorporate traditional rammed earth techniques and local materials, reflecting the architectural practices of the Muslim period in Valencia.
From June 2024, guided tours will be available on the last Saturday of each month, with groups limited to 50 visitors per session.
Archaeological excavations revealed a four-square-meter interior pit and remnants of surrounding walls during the six-year restoration project completed in 2020.
