Torreón del Alamín, Medieval defensive tower in Guadalajara, Spain
The Torreón del Alamín stands with limestone and brick walls reaching two meters in thickness, featuring narrow window slits for surveillance purposes.
Built in the 13th century, this tower protected the medieval bridge of Las Infantas and served as a gateway to the city through Salazaras Street.
The tower houses an exhibition about the evolution of Guadalajara's wall system, displaying ceramics, backlit panels, and scale models of historical structures.
Located at coordinates 40.635297, -3.161631, the tower includes a modern wooden spiral staircase connecting its lower and upper chambers for visitor access.
The original medieval entrance remains visible on the second floor, where a wooden ladder still hangs from an interior wall as historical evidence.
