Torre de Guzmán

The Torre de Guzmán is located in the heart of Conil and was built by Alonso Pérez de Guzmán between 1300 and 1307.nIt was further reinforced in 1411.

The tower was designed to prevent enemies from invading the city. Together with many other towers, also built by de Guzmán, it forms a long defensive line along the Costa de la Luz.

Among the enemies of Cádiz's coast were pirates and barbarians. Due to tuna fishing, Conil was particularly threatened by conquerors, as it represented a strategically important point for anglers due to the tuna movement from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean.

The tower was built in the Gothic style and is now part of Conil's coat of arms.

It is open to the public and offers fantastic views of the Atlantic, Conil, and the entire La Janda region.

During the summer months it is open Monday to Saturday from 11:00 to 14:00 and from 18:00 to 21:00.Read more
