Torre de la Mixarda, a protected cultural site of national interest in Figuerola del Camp, Spain, exhibits an uncertain past. Although the exact year of construction is unknown, an inscription within the tower suggests it may have been built in 1615.
The stone entrance archway, measure 115 cm in width and 180 cm in height, faces east. Remnants of its original design include three gargoyles for drainage and three ményse at the top, though the third has been rebuilt. Unfortunately, only the ground floor remains from the tower's original three stories.
An archaeological intervention took place in 2007, followed by restoration and public opening in 2009.
