Torreón de Llanes
Llanes, Spain, Spain
Torreón de Llanes is a robust 13th-century circular defensive tower built of limestone, about 8 meters in diameter, integrated into the medieval walls of Llanes, a coastal town in Asturias, northern Spain.
Originally serving as a watchtower to protect against invasions following King Alfonso XI's town charter, it later functioned as a prison and was declared a National Monument in 1876 for its enduring role in the town's fortifications.
Nestled in the historic old quarter near the Basilica of Santa María, it stands as a well-preserved symbol of Llanes' strategic past amid later reconstructions after wars.
