Torreón de los Guzmanes, Renaissance tower in Ávila, Spain.
The Torreón de los Guzmanes features a quadrangular corner tower built with masonry and ashlar work, crowned by trefoiled merlons and defensive machicolations.
The Mújica family commissioned this defensive structure at the beginning of the 16th century, incorporating watchtowers with arrow slits at each corner.
The central courtyard displays a double gallery with Tuscan Doric columns, depressed arches on the lower level, and ornate floral motifs throughout the structure.
The building now functions as the Provincial Council of Ávila offices, with free access Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
The former stables of the palace have been transformed into a Vetton Culture Interpretation Centre, presenting exhibits about local heritage.
