Torre de l'Esparra

Torre de l'Esparra is a 13th-century tower located in the L'Esparra area of Riudarenes, in La Selva region of Girona, distinguished by its remarkably thick two-meter stone walls and well-preserved arched doorway. The interior measures approximately 7 paces by 4.5 paces, reflecting its original defensive purpose in medieval Catalonia. Known by multiple historical names including Torre de les Bruixes and Torre dels Mussols, this structure represents the watchtower heritage of the region. The tower's robust construction and relative preservation make it an accessible historical monument, featured on scenic hiking trails that connect the surrounding countryside and offer visitors a tangible connection to medieval border defense systems.
