Tower of Cabrahigo, Medieval fortified tower in Isla, Spain

The Tower of Cabrahigo is a freestanding square tower of rough grey and tan stone blocks, with dressed stone at the corners and openings, standing on flat ground in the Gracedo neighbourhood of Isla. Its two longer sides measure 11 metres and the shorter ones 9, and its four storeys reach 12 metres, topped by regularly spaced stepped battlements. The visible facade has three narrow arched openings and a small round-arched window, with two vertical slits on the upper right.

The fortification was built during the 14th or 15th century and belonged to the Velarde family, whose member received the title of Constable of Castile in 1473. The structure underwent modifications during the Catholic Monarchs' reign, when additional windows were added following the territory's pacification.

Locals call it El Torrín, and it is also known as the Tower of the Constable, a title held by a member of the Velarde family from 1473. It is one of three medieval towers in Isla, a group that marks the village's medieval past.

The tower stands free on a hill in the Gracedo district, at the entrance to Isla coming from Arnuero. It is reached on foot along rural lanes and uneven ground, so sturdy shoes help. There is no lift or adapted access; the four floors are connected only by the original interior, and the setting is open to wind and rain.

The tower's name comes from the Cabrahigo estate; locals also call it El Torrín, meaning the small tower, and Torre del Condestable after the Velarde family member made Constable of Castile in 1473. It is one of three medieval towers in Isla, in the Gracedo district.
