Tower of Granyena de Segarra

Monument · Granyena de Segarra, Segarra, Lleida

Ruined cylindrical tower, situated on a small hill half a kilometer south of the village, which served as a watchtower and defensive element during the 11th-century reconquest. Local tradition speaks of an underground tunnel that would have connected it to the castle to raise the alarm. A Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (Catalonia's top heritage-protection category).
