The Torre del Homenaje is the main tower of the former Moorish castle of Comares. From here, the village and the surrounding valleys were defended for centuries. Today, only fragments of walls and foundations remain, but the place still breathes history. The panoramic view from the heights makes it clear why Comares is known as "the balcony of the Axarquía."
