ABSTRACT
The preserved remains of the tower correspond to its base and to 5.5 m of the body since the tower’s top was demolished at some point, perhaps in the mid-13th century or in the late 15th century. The tower may have been demolished during the reconquest of the village by Pelay Correa (Pelayo Pérez Correa), a Master of the Order of Santiago, or it may have happened at the end of the 15th century, when the Catholic Kings demolished a considerable number of guard towers to limit the power of the local nobility.
