Torre Guadacabrillas, Medieval watchtower in Posadas, Spain.

The stone tower rises ten meters high with a square base, featuring two floors and a terrace crowned by triangular battlements.

Constructed in the early 15th century, this defensive structure protected the Royal Road connecting Córdoba to Seville against Muslim incursions.

The tower forms part of a larger defensive network including Almodóvar Castle and Moratalla Castle, representing medieval military architecture.

Since 2021, a restoration project aims to transform the tower into a museum with access to the upper level observation point.

The ground floor contains a circular vaulted ceiling while the upper floor displays blind semicircular arches with stone voussoirs.
