Torre de la Gallina
Spain, Spain
Torre de la Gallina is a Nasrid watchtower ruin near Salar in Granada province, Spain, built in the 14th century as part of the defensive network protecting the Kingdom of Granada's western frontier against Castilian advances during the Reconquista. This simple cylindrical mampostería structure, now reduced to vestigial remnants topped by a geodetic vertex, originally enabled visual signaling across connected atalayas guarding key routes between Alhama de Granada and the Vega, exemplifying rural Islamic military architecture. Located along the Salar-Alhama road amid rugged terrain, it reflects Granada's sophisticated vigilance system that endured until the Catholic Monarchs' conquest.
