In the Plaza de Colón, next to a park of the same name, you can appreciate the charm of this eight-sided tower, which is an example of late 15th-century military architecture. In those days, the tower was part of the Palacio de Sotomayor, of which there are no remains. Many of these fortifications were demolished at the time of the Catholic Monarchs, Fernando and Isabel, but perhaps this one was saved because of its grace and beauty. Its base is square and ends in an octagonal shape, with eight boxes with the coats of arms of Anaya and Sotomayor. The public is not allowed inside, as it's used as a hall of residence by the Asociación Universitaria Iberoamericana de Postgrado.
