Torre Olvidada - Torredelcampo

Torre Olvidada - Torredelcampo

This ruined watchtower is located on a rocky promontory of the same name, 479m above sea level. It would once have controlled the road from Jaén to Arjona, being delimited to the east and north by the Cortijo de Piedra Partida stream. It is thought to date from the second half of the thirteenth century, although the oldest existing historical reference to the building is from 1311. It was built in Andalusian times and reformed after its conquest by the Castilians. It is cylindrical in shape, 8m in diameter and maintains a height of about 7m, with a door located several meters above ground level.

Located north of Torredelcampo, off the JV-2338.
