The Friars Tower

The Frares Tower is one of the tallest medieval towers in the former Crown of Aragon. It was built around 1306 and stands 33 metres tall.

The structure rests directly on the rock, with a base that is wider than the upper wall.

The uppermost section has collapsed, and the only surviving elements of its original crown are the corbels that supported the defensive structure of the upper parapet.
