Tower of Ca la Miquelina

Monument · Creixell, Tarragonès, Tarragona

Irregular square-plan tower about ten meters high, probably from the 14th century, incorporated into the old wall. It preserves its crown of truncated-pyramid battlements and a zoomorphic gargoyle added once it lost its defensive function; attached to the west is the Casa Álvarez or Ca la Miquelina, a 15th-16th-century Flamboyant Gothic manor house that the town council bought after more than three decades of negotiations.
