Torre Gironella, Ancient defensive tower in Girona, Spain
The stone tower features visible Roman foundations, medieval walls, and a barrel vault resting upon the original square tower structure at its base point.
Dating back to 994, the Torre Gironella underwent reconstruction in 1411 after its collapse in 1404, followed by damage from Napoleonic explosives in 1814.
The structure represents multiple architectural periods of Girona, incorporating Roman, medieval, and later defensive elements into its preserved remains.
Located at the highest point of Girona's Roman wall, the tower provides access through stone stairs in the entrance courtyard.
The tower contains the Door of Juana Enríquez, named after the noble who reinforced the structure during the Catalan Civil War of 1462.
