Torre de Paterna
Paterna, Spain, Spain
Torre de Paterna is a prominent 12th-century Almohad watchtower and the iconic symbol of Paterna, a town near Valencia, Spain.
Standing 19.5 meters tall with a 12.7-meter base diameter, this freestanding stone structure features three floors including a ground-level cistern, a square entry transitioning to conical upper sections, and an octagonal top originally part of Valencia's defensive belt against northern threats.
Located amid historic cave dwellings from the 18th century, it was modified in the 14th century, declared a Site of Cultural Interest, and now offers climbable access via a modern spiral staircase for panoramic town views.
