Torre Guadacabrillas, Medieval watchtower in Posadas, Spain.
Torre Guadacabrillas is a medieval watchtower in Posadas with a square base, two floors, and a terrace topped by triangular battlements. The structure stands roughly 10 meters (33 feet) tall and displays typical features of regional fortification architecture.
The structure was built in the early 15th century as part of a defensive line protecting the Royal Road between Córdoba and Seville. It stood at a strategic location to prevent raids on crucial trade routes.
The tower was part of a defensive network that connected several fortified settlements across the region. Such structures show how medieval communities marked and protected their territories.
The tower is accessible from outside and can be viewed, though interior spaces are currently limited. Restoration work since 2021 aims to eventually provide access to the upper floor with views of the surrounding area.
The ground floor features a circular vaulted ceiling with stone details, while the upper floor displays blind semicircular arches with stone voussoirs. These architectural details represent rare examples of specialized stonework techniques from that era.
