Torre de la Almofala, Fortified tower in Toledo, Spain.
The Torre de la Almofala features a semi-oval structure with irregular masonry walls and pointed-arch openings on its lower section and brick arches above.
Built between the 13th and late 14th centuries, this defensive tower served to monitor the nearby ford and control routes toward Sagra and Calatrava.
The tower received protection status as a Bien de Interés Cultural in 1921, marking its recognition as a significant Spanish heritage structure.
Recent archaeological activities have reopened the previously sealed lower entrances, allowing researchers to study the multiple interior floors of the structure.
The tower contains decorative slate fragments placed between stone blocks in its lower section, displaying an unusual construction technique for medieval fortifications.
