Torreón de la Zuda in Zaragoza
Torreón de la Zuda in Zaragoza, Medieval fortified tower in central Zaragoza, Spain
The rectangular brick tower rises prominently above the city center, featuring traditional Aragonese architectural elements and thick defensive walls.
The tower served as part of the Muslim governors' palace until 1118, when King Alfonso I captured the city during the Christian reconquest.
The building holds status as Bien de Interés Cultural, representing the architectural legacy of multiple civilizations that controlled Zaragoza through centuries.
The tourist office inside the tower operates Monday through Friday from 16:30 to 20:00 and weekends from 10:00 to 14:00.
From the top floor observation deck, visitors can see panoramic views spanning Roman ruins, Islamic structures, Jewish quarters, and Christian monuments.
