These towers were built to protect the city and its surroundings during the medieval period. Although it is not as well known as other monuments in Cordoba, it is an interesting place for lovers of history and architecture.

The Guadacabrilla Tower was built during the reign of Enrique III (1390-1406) by order of the Mayor of Córdoba Luis Sánchez. Its function was to complete the defensive line of the Royal Road from Córdoba to Seville along the right bank of the Guadalquivir.
