The cube

The tower has a height of 21.5m and is made of masonry with lime mortar. The average diameter is 8.5m and the thickness of the walls is more than 2.75m.

Inside the Cube we can consider up to four spatial and functional levels: On the lower level or first floor we find a room with a circular floor plan of approximately 8m in diameter finished off with a half-orange vault with an approximate height of 10m.

Due to this considerable height it could have been divided into several levels with wooden structures and mezzanines. The site available in these defense towers was so valuable that even the smallest space was used for the storage of food, utensils and the shelter of people that the Order of Santiago kept under its protection.

The intermediate level or second floor is a smaller circular room due to the fact that it contains the stairway to the roof. It has a pointed vault over ribs where its intermediate cloths are also made of stone.

From the roof, we can see the plain where the Kurah was framed in the times of Al-Andalus, this allowed the control of the four cardinal points before the fronts of advance.
