Tower of la Closa

Monument · Montbrió del Camp, Baix Camp, Tarragona

The Torre de la Closa, 5.40 metres high by 4.60 metres wide with walls about 90 centimetres thick, rises above one of the arcades that form the facade of the Montbrió del Camp town hall, covered by a semicircular vault through which the Carrer de la Closa passes. A medieval defence tower that probably formed part of the 14th-century walled precinct, its upper part is in ruins, but the rear facade reveals its original masonry, of unsquared stone bonded with lime mortar, and it retains, at first-floor height, a window with a voussoired semicircular arch, also voussoired jambs and a stone sill.
