It is known as an albarrana tower, those that serve for defenses and also as a watchtower.

It is an albarrana tower from the mid-12th century, with a base of Roman granite ashlars and from which it is believed that a wall started, which would internally divide the city into two areas, uniting this tower with the Torre de los Pozos.

It owes its name to the fact that in the past the city's bread ovens were very close to
In fact, the main oven of the city was attached to the tower. Also nearby was the Cáceres warehouse, which was the place where the wheat was stored.
