Torreón de El Limón, Adobe tower in El Limón, Venezuela
The tower rises 14 meters high with a pentagonal design, featuring white painted walls and stands at the center of a traffic circle.
Constructed in the 19th century, this structure functioned as a chimney for sugar cane processing during the Spanish colonial period in Venezuela.
The tower remains as the final element of a former hacienda that produced sugar, aguardiente, and cheese, representing the agricultural heritage of the region.
Located at the northwest corner of metropolitan Maracay, the tower sits next to Henri Pittier National Park with surrounding benches and lighting.
The pentagonal structure survived multiple floods, including the El Limón disaster in the 1980s, maintaining its original adobe brick construction.
