Torre del Andador, Fortified tower in Albarracín, Spain.

The Torre del Andador rises from the highest point of Albarracín's defensive walls, featuring a quadrangular base measuring 10 by 7 meters.

Built during the 10th century as a standalone watchtower, the structure integrated into the city walls at the beginning of the 11th century.

The architectural elements of the tower display Muslim construction techniques, with specific masonry patterns found in other Islamic monuments of the period.

Visitors can access the tower through guided tours starting from Plaza Mayor, with tickets costing approximately 6 euros per person.

The tower forms part of a defensive triangle alongside the Alcazar and Torre de la Muela, protected by an artificial moat carved into the rock.
