    Spaniola Castle Tower, Pontresina
    The name Spaniola (in Roman spagniöl = Spanish) seems to be of more recent origin. The edge is directed towards the mountain to protect against avalanches and rockfalls, but also for strategic reasons. The round-arched high entrance and the toilet extension on the second floor are clearly visible and unique. The tower can be viewed from the outside. The tower was built around 1200, but there are no written documents.

    The Spaniola castle tower is located above Pontresina in the Engadine in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. The name "Spaniola Tower" is more recent, but where the name comes from is unclear. Nicolin Sererhard mentions around 1740 that the tower bears the name of the village.
