Tower of els Moros d'Arbolí

Monument · Arbolí, Baix Camp, Tarragona

Image of Arbolí, not of the place itself.

A watchtower located in the municipal area of Arbolí, in Baix Camp, near Gallicant, declared bien cultural de interés nacional (Spain's highest level of heritage protection). Of the original construction only the northeast corner survives, made of well-carved ashlar of considerable size, some with a rusticated finish. The tower measured about five by five metres, and the surviving corner reaches almost nine metres in height; the rest of the remains are largely hidden among the undergrowth. Tradition attributes to the Moors both this tower, also known as that of Manel, and the arch of the nearby village fountain.
