Fortress tower of Puebla del Príncipe

Medieval fortress tower that presides over Puebla del Príncipe (Campo de Montiel, Ciudad Real) and can be visited; it is the most recognisable symbol of the municipality. Its origins go back to the 8th century, when the territory became part of Al-Ándalus and it was built as part of the Andalusi defensive system in the area. Around the tower and the parish church the original nucleus of the settlement consolidated, growing in its shadow over the following centuries.
