Torreón de Lozoya, Medieval defense tower in Plaza de San Martín, Segovia, Spain.

The Torreón de Lozoya stands at 25 meters tall with an 8 by 9-meter base, featuring strategic windows that provide complete views of the surroundings.

Built between the 15th and 16th centuries, this fortified structure served as an armory and incorporated military design elements such as arrow slits for defense.

The tower contains historical graffiti made with charcoal by students who used the building during the Spanish Civil War as an observation post.

Located at Plaza de San Martín 5, the tower now hosts contemporary art exhibitions and includes a bookstore with over 13,000 items in its Renaissance courtyard.

The structure contains remnants of a Roman caldarium beneath its foundations, indicating previous settlements at this location before the medieval construction.
