Martiartu Tower, Medieval tower house in Erandio, Spain.
The Martiartu Tower rises in four stone walls with decreasing thickness, featuring pointed arch entrances and arrow slits across multiple levels.
Built between the late 14th and early 15th centuries by Martin Ortiz de Martiartu, the tower underwent reconstruction in 1488 following its destruction in 1472.
The tower represents the feudal period in Biscay, controlling trade routes between Plentzia and Bilbao while serving as a symbol of noble power.
Located on the slopes of Mount Umbe near San Antonio de Martiartu hermitage, the tower maintains its original medieval structure despite being currently unoccupied.
The structure includes double rows of corbels supporting a perforated balustrade and cylindrical elements resting on decreasing semicircular brackets at its upper angles.
