Torre de Belén, Medieval defense tower in San Basilio, Córdoba, Spain.
The Torre de Belén features a square structure built from limestone blocks, measuring 7.4 meters on each side with alternating layers of stone placement.
The defensive tower, dating from either the 12th-century Almohad period or early Christian era, served as part of Córdoba's fortification system after 1236.
The ground floor of the tower houses a chapel, leading to its alternative names Torre de las Imágines and Torre de San Benito.
The tower stands at Calle Martín de Roa 2 in Córdoba and remains visible from the street throughout the day without entrance fees.
Two perpendicular doors provide access to the tower, with the north entrance displaying an Islamic horseshoe arch and the east entrance leading to the chapel.
