Torre del Homenaje del Castillo de Mengíbar - Mengíbar
The Arabs built a fortress, fundamental to the defense of the surrounding territories, around which the population nucleus emerged. In 1225, Fernando III conquered the Castle of Mengíbar, destroying it, however another was built, which in the seventeenth century was still standing, evidenced by its description by Martín Ximena Jurado. Even at the beginning of the twentieth century, some wall paintings of the construction were preserved. The tower visible today is the only remaining vestige of the castle. Its square base is 13.7m wide and the tower reaches 25.5m at the parapets of the upper terrace.
