Torreón del Homenaje

The Torreón del Homenaje is the surviving castle tower in Setenil's upper quarter. It is a compact sight, but it anchors the town's medieval story and helps explain why the settlement mattered before tourists arrived to photograph the cave streets.

The climb from the lower streets is part of the visit. From up here, the gorge layout becomes easier to understand, and Setenil looks less like a curiosity and more like a defensible hill town.

A story
The tower is the main survivor of Setenil's medieval castle. Its name, like many homage towers in Spain, reflects the feudal ceremony of loyalty as much as military function.
