Matet, Spain, Spain
Torre del Pilón, also called Torre de Matet, is an 11th-century Islamic watchtower atop Turó de Matet hill in Matet, Castellón, Valencia, Spain, built for defense and surveillance over a growing Muslim settlement.
Likely from the era when Matet was reconquered by Jaime I between 1233 and 1238, the sturdy stone structure reflects Arab military architecture typical of the region's frontier outposts.
