Tower of Covarrubias, Medieval fortified tower in Covarrubias, Spain.
The rectangular stone tower rises 22 meters high with walls measuring 3 meters thick, featuring a horseshoe arch entrance at mid-height of the structure.
Built during the 10th century under Count Fernán González or García Fernández, the tower served as a defensive structure to protect the Arlanza Valley.
The interior space divides into two main sections separated by a barrel vault, with wooden ceilings creating additional levels for different functions.
Located at Plaza de Doña Sancha 7, the tower requires climbing stairs for entry and currently operates with specific visiting schedules.
The structure narrows from its 10 by 14 meter base to 7.5 by 11 meters at the top, creating a distinct truncated pyramid shape.
