Tower of el Palacio de Antella

Monument · Antella, La Ribera Alta, Valencia

A tower that is the only surviving element of the old manor house of Antella (Valencia), built during the period of Arab rule and fitted with large chambers; the palace stood facing the Plaza de la Iglesia, with a 34-metre façade, and had living quarters, its own oil mill, stables and a granary. The tower, with a square floor plan about six metres on each side, is built of brick and masonry, with a ground floor and three upper storeys, a vaulted upper hall and a terrace reached by an internal spiral staircase, topped by a small watchtower. Although it has not been rebuilt, it is preserved in good condition, and has been protected as an Asset of Cultural Interest since 2001.
