El Torreón de Huétor is a significant historical monument located in the town of Huétor Tájar. It was once part of the fortified wall system of the Alquería de Huétor, a settlement that dates back to the period of the Nasrid dynasty, before the Castilian conquest. The tower is situated on the left bank of the Genil River, in the heart of the Poniente Granadino region. It is a testament to the rich history of the area and offers a glimpse into the architectural and defensive strategies of the past.
