Torre de Boabdil - Porcuna
Following the Re-conquest, the mosques of Porcuna were destroyed and replaced with Christian temples. Surviving this erasure is the Torre de Boabdil (Museo Arqueológico de Obulco), considered by Juan Eslava as “the most beautiful example of military architecture in the Kingdom of Jaén”. It gets its name from the imprisonment suffered by the last King of Granada, captured in the Battle of Lucena. It was erected by the Order of Calatrava between 1411 and 1435. Built with good ashlar stone, it reaches 28m in height, on a polygonal base. Declared an Asset of Cultural Interest since 1982. Closed on Monday.
