Built in the 13th century, this watchtower tower stands on a rocky promontory, reaching a height of 18 metres. Its thick masonry walls and its door raised more than eight metres from the ground outside made it practically inaccessible, thus guaranteeing its defensive function.
In the 17th century, the tower lost its defensive function and was given to the nearby Dominican convent, which used it as a library. However, with the disappearance of the convent, the tower remained in ruins until it was restored in 2001 by the Santa María de Albarracín Foundation. Today, the tower has been converted into a space for art exhibitions and offers stunning views of Albarracín and its surroundings.

As is known, its origin is Arabic. In the 17th century it was the library of the Dominican convent that occupied the site of the current cemetery.
It is considered a real fortification, the third castle in the city. It is a square tower with thick walls and 18 meters high, distributed over 4 floors, of which the last one constitutes a true viewpoint over the city. Several arrow slits open on its walls. The access door is halfway up on the north side.
