Torre del Homenaje del antiguo castillo

The square-based tower rises 25.5 meters high with 13.7-meter sides, featuring three vaulted chambers and a water cistern inside its structure.

Built in the 13th century as part of a fortress, this tower stands as the last remaining element of the medieval castle that protected Mengíbar.

The tower received recognition as a Property of Cultural Interest in 1985, marking its importance in Spanish architectural heritage.

Visitors can access the interior of the tower, exploring multiple floors connected by embedded staircases within the thick stone walls.

The first floor contains four large ceramic jars embedded in the ground, measuring 1.2 meters deep, which stored grains and liquids.
