Torre Esteril in Benahavís, Málaga, is a medieval defensive tower representing the Islamic territorial network that characterized the region during the Middle Ages. Originally of medieval construction, the tower's documented history spans from at least the 18th century. Located near the Los Arqueros golf course and close to the Ronda road, this architectural remnant stands as one of Benahavís's most representative vestiges of Islamic defense systems. Today the name also identifies a nearby upscale residential urbanization with over 1,000 properties developed between 2000 and 2010, blending historic heritage with modern development in the wealthy Costa del Sol region.
