Torrecilla Tower, located in Lorca, Murcia region, is a noteworthy remnant of the Moorish period in southeastern Spain. It was built during Arab times, featuring a unique construction of rammed earth and brickwork. The tower stands out with its four layers of rammed earth and striking corners built with bricks. Each side has four small windows, serving as merlons, providing light and a view of the surroundings. Today, the tower is open to the public, offering an authentic glimpse into the region's rich history.
