Torre de Uclés, also known as Torre de Jaula, is a circular watchtower in the Sierra de los Pollos near Priego de Córdoba in Andalusia. Built between 1332 and 1341 during the Nasrid dynasty, this fortress originally served to monitor distant frontier events and guard a crucial trade passage in the region. Rising approximately 10 meters with a solid base reinforced by a prominent double buttress, the tower features a truncated cone shape with a hollow upper section. After the Christian conquest, it became part of the defensive network controlled by the House of Aguilar, protecting the agricultural lands of the Genilla River basin from Granada raids.
