Torre de Ozmin, Medieval watchtower in Galera, Spain
The rectangular watchtower stands 4 meters tall with limestone walls covered in gypsum coating, featuring a solid base and hollow upper chamber.
The tower belonged to a network of defensive structures built during the Nasrid period to protect the Kingdom of Granada's central territory.
The structure represents medieval military architecture with its elevated entrance at 5 meters height and barrel-vaulted interior chamber with fireplace.
Located near the road connecting Cullar and Galera, the tower sits on a geological formation created by sedimentary materials from an ancient lake.
The western face shows natural wind erosion patterns, while the southern side contains a man-made cavity that alters its original structure.
