Church of Cucalón

Monument · Cucalón, Jiloca, Teruel

The parish church of Cucalón, dedicated to Santiago Apóstol, dates from the 17th century, but its tower — built in the 15th century in response to the threat of Castilian invasion, over an old refuge-castle reduced to that tower — is one of the finest examples of late medieval fortified churches in the area; known as "La Atalaya", with a truncated pyramidal plan and partially ruined battlements, it is listed as a Bien de Interés Cultural.
