Built in 2010, the result of collaboration between the City Council and the Junta de Andalucía. They are located in the center of the town and consist of a viewing plaza, a ceramic mosaic and a tower with exhibition rooms.

This place of interest recreates and commemorates that in 1483, a few years before the taking of Malaga in 1487, El Zagal defeated part of the Christian army that moved from Antequera to this area following the course of the Totalán stream, to attack the Muslim garrison that was camped near the bordering municipality of Moclinejo. The Zagal attack began to the sound of the violin from an existing tower in the area.

Violin Tower On the two floors located in the basement of the tower, they are used as exhibition rooms in the different cultural events and festivals of the municipality. Once at the top of the tower you can see the town center and wonderful views of the natural environment.

It's a good idea to stop for a few minutes and take a photo of the tower and its beautifully restored views.
