Tower of San Dionisio, Mudéjar defensive tower in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
The Tower of San Dionisio rises above the city streets with its square base structure and decorative brick patterns across its exterior walls.
Built in the 15th century during the Christian reconquest, this watchtower served as a strategic defense point for monitoring approaching threats to the city.
The architectural elements of the tower reflect the combination of Islamic and Christian designs that characterized the medieval period in southern Spain.
The tower stands near Plaza del Arenal, making it accessible for visitors exploring the historic center of Jerez de la Frontera on foot.
Local guards stationed in the tower maintained a system of signals to communicate with other watchtowers across the region during medieval times.
