The tower was built during the late 12th century by the Almohads to protect the nearby Roman Bridge. It was restored in 1369 by king Henry II of Castile. A third tower was added to the existing ones, in the shape of two cylinders connecting them. It now houses the Museo Vivo de al-Andalus. Córdoba, Andalucia, Spain
