Tower of the Pulpits, Medieval defense tower in Plaza Mayor, Cáceres, Spain.
The granite Tower of the Pulpits rises 16 meters high on the western wall of Cáceres, featuring cylindrical blocks at its front corners.
Built in the late 15th century after the Christian Reconquest, this tower protected the new city entrance through its arrow slits shaped like crosses.
From this tower, the Master of the Order of Alcántara watched commemorative tournaments celebrating his sister Juana's wedding in the Plaza Mayor.
The tower opens daily from 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:30 to 19:30 in winter, with modified evening hours during summer months.
An 18th-century stone arch connects the tower to Mayoralgo Palace, allowing its residents direct access to watch public events from above.
