Torre mudéjar de la Alcudia, Gothic Mudéjar bell tower in Jérica, Spain
The Torre Mudéjar de la Alcudia rises 521 meters above sea level with three octagonal sections of different perimeters built with solid masonry walls.
The tower's construction started in 1616 upon an existing structure, with monk Fray Antón Ortín designing it and master stonemason Domingo Frasnedo executing the work.
The structure combines Gothic and Mannerist Mudéjar architectural elements, displaying the influence of both Christian and Islamic building traditions in medieval Spain.
Five bells of varying sizes occupy the second section of the tower, with the largest bell weighing 2,600 kilograms and the smallest 166 kilograms.
The tower served as an artillery fortification during the First Carlist War in the 19th century, incorporating Italian-style military design elements.
