Tower of Arroyomolinos, Medieval tower in Arroyomolinos, Spain.

The five-story brick tower features rounded corners and eight watchtowers, with stone foundations forming a square base structure at its core point.

Built in the 1470s during the Castilian Succession War, the fortress belonged to Gonzalo Chacón, who added his family shields to the tower's upper section.

The Tower of Arroyomolinos represents Gothic Mudejar architecture and holds the status of Cultural Interest Monument in the Madrid Community's Castle Route.

Located in the historic center near Plaza Mayor, visitors can access the tower through a north facade entrance and explore multiple floors.

The tower contains visible cannonball marks on its surface, demonstrating the structure's resilience despite being constructed with simple materials.
