Torre de Bujaco, Medieval tower in Plaza Mayor, Cáceres, Spain.
The Torre de Bujaco stands 25 meters tall with square base, featuring lateral and frontal machicolations built in robust stone construction.
The Almohad dynasty constructed this defensive tower in the 12th century, using Roman stone blocks as foundation for the military fortification.
The tower received its name from Abu Yaqub, a caliph whose forces captured Cáceres in 1173, reflecting the Islamic influence in Spanish architecture.
Visitors can access the tower Wednesday through Monday from 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:30 to 19:30 in winter, with entrance fee of 2.50 euros.
From 1800 to 1962, a statue of the goddess Ceres crowned the tower, connecting to a carnival tradition of creating straw figures in nearby Casar.
