Torre de Torrent, Medieval fortified tower in Torrent, Spain.

Torre de Torrent is a medieval fortified tower located in Torrent in the Valencia region. The structure is built from solid stone with thick defensive walls and architectural features designed to serve military purposes.

Carbon-14 testing dates the tower's construction to 1070, with a margin of error of 25 years, confirming its Muslim origin. It formed part of Valencia's defensive belt alongside fortifications in Moncada, Bétera, Paterna, Chiva and Silla. In 1238 James I of Aragon granted the castle to the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, and in 1494 the tower sheltered the deputies of the Valencian Generalitat during a plague epidemic.

The tower's name comes from the castle that once stood here; the medieval town grew around it. Since 1980 it has hosted art exhibitions, public readings and the Carta de Poblament awards, and the traditional Friday market has been held around it since the Middle Ages.

The tower can be viewed and photographed from the outside, providing a clear view of its structure. Before visiting, check for any access restrictions or guided tour availability in the area.

The four corners of the top terrace each carry a pyramidal pinnacle with the eight-pointed cross of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem and the heraldic bat (lo rat penat). The 2009 restoration removed the render from the walls and uncovered 25 arrow slits that had been walled up in earlier centuries.
