Torre de Mogrovejo, Medieval fortified tower in Mogrovejo, Cantabria, Spain.
The square stone tower rises 21 meters high with battlements and twin windows, maintaining its original shutters within a walled perimeter.
The Lords of Mogrovejo constructed the tower in the late 13th century after King Sancho granted them the monastery of San Martin in 1248.
The tower contains inscriptions referring to historical battles, including one about the victory at Tarif and another about the Battle of Covadonga.
The tower stands empty inside without floor divisions, surrounded by ruined buildings including a manor house and a square chapel from the 17th century.
A 15th-century funerary monument from the Counts of Mogrovejo, originally housed in the tower, is now displayed at the National Museum of Sculpture in Valladolid.
