Cultural Asset of National Interest

It is a round tower from the 11th-12th centuries that served as defense and surveillance

Some stairs allow climbing to the top of the pillar from where you can see a magnificent landscape. This tower has a height of 14 meters. It is a geographical reference point for the region, and from where a magnificent panoramic view of the Urgell plain is commanded, even on a very clear day you can see the Seu Vella de Lleida. Near the tower are the ruins of the Romanesque hermitage of Sant Vicenç.

The Pilar de Almenara is a medieval defensive tower located at the top of the Sierra de Almenara, near Agramunt, in the Urgell region of Catalonia. This tower, dating from the 11th and 12th centuries, is 14 meters high and offers stunning panoramic views of the Urgell plain.

The tower was used for surveillance and defense against Saracen raids and is similar to other Christian defensive towers in the region. From the top, on clear days, you can see as far as the Seu Vella de Lleida.
