Córdoba, Torre de la Malmuerta is a gate tower of the Axerquia wall in Córdoba, Andalusia, Spain. This Albarrana tower was built in: 1406–1408, by order of King Henry III of Castile, over a pre existing Almohad structure, to defend the gates of Rincón and Colodro. Later it was also used as a prison for nobles.

Nice mini castle like structure next to some traffic lights. Oddly out of place, but brings some culture and charm to an area otherwise devoid of any.

Unique looking watchtower. Also got a plaque with its history of construction.
