Torre Ferrer

Monuments

This tower is an excellent example of military-defensive architecture adapted to the social circumstances of these centuries and it is known that at least 30 towers existed, of which many of them are properly cataloged, while others have disappeared completely . Its construction dates from the late sixteenth century. It is one of the smallest towers in the La Condomina area. With an almost square floor plan (5.90 x 6.90 m), it has a prismatic volume. It rises on a pyramidal plinth and has two levels on it. The original access is located on the level of the ground floor on the north facade, on which the remains of the old house to which it was attached and that was demolished clandestinely in the year 1982 can be seen. It seems that there was a semi-basement under the lower floor, coinciding with the base of the truncated pyramid, since there is a hollow with a lintel in a segmental arch that is currently blinded. The tower is broken. At least it lacks the cover and the auction of it (if a possible third floor has not been deleted). The interior conserves the old staircase, of helicoidal layout. The two slabs on the basement are made of wooden beams. The walls of the tower are of sillarejo factory covered with worn mortar, with ashlars in the corners and in the primitive hollows (the access and to the east), and have a thickness of almost 1 meter. Some ashlars present a good state of conservation, in some corner and in the plinth, reason why they must be of recent incorporation, since they are of different stone to the sandstone of their original factory.
