Torre del Conde, Defense tower in San Sebastián de La Gomera, Spain.
The Gothic tower has a prismatic structure reaching 15 meters in height with white lime walls and red stone corners within a 40-meter perimeter.
The Count of La Gomera Hernán Peraza the Elder ordered the construction of this military fortress between 1447 and 1450 during the Canary Islands conquest.
Christopher Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, and Hernán Cortés visited this tower during their expeditions to the Americas in the late 15th century.
The tower stands near the port at the bottom of a valley, featuring two-meter-thick walls and multiple interior levels for different functions.
This medieval Gothic construction represents the southernmost remaining tower from the Canary Islands conquest period, surpassing Añazo and Gando towers.
