Tower of la Font del Mingo

Monument · Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Alt Penedès, Barcelona

A defensive tower of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia linked to the Carlist Wars of 1873-1874, the only visible remnant of the fortifications built during that episode; later converted into a water tank for the fountain that bears its name and restored in 2008. Octagonal plan with a single chamber, a crenellated terrace and an attached sentry box with gun-ports. An Asset of National Cultural Interest since 1988 (BIC RI-51-0005678).
