Torre Blanca

The Torre Blanca rises 18 meters with a square foundation, thick stone walls, and small iron slag pieces incorporated into its construction.

Built in the 13th century, this tower formed part of a defensive triangle with the Alcázar and Torre del Andador to protect the city of Albarracín.

The structure transformed into a Dominican library in the 17th century, connecting it to the cemetery and the Church of Santa María.

Visitors access the tower through an entrance positioned eight meters above ground level on its northern face, leading to four interior levels.

The walls contain pieces of dark metal slag that catch and reflect light, creating an optical effect on the tower's surface.
