Atalaya-Mirador de Eiffel, Iron watchtower in Las Navas del Marqués, Spain.
The Eiffel Watchtower features a double-ramp spiral staircase within its cast iron structure, rising above the surrounding pine forest landscape.
The Duchess of Medinaceli commissioned this observation tower in 1873, requesting its construction from the same workshop that later built the Paris Tower.
The watchtower stands as a testament to 19th-century Spanish industrial architecture, combining forest surveillance purposes with aristocratic garden design.
The structure remains under private ownership, requiring advance permission for visits to access its panoramic views of the Gredos and Guadarrama mountains.
The tower's construction marked the beginning of Ciudad Ducal development, with a botanical garden established at its base.
