Torre Soto de Roma in Chauchina is a rectangular defensive tower built during the Nasrid period between the 13th and 14th centuries to protect the valley near the Genil River, approximately 18 kilometers from Granada. Constructed with rammed earth and measuring 9.5 by 7.1 meters, this structure has been carefully restored and stands as one of Granada province's best-preserved medieval towers. The site holds literary significance as poet Federico García Lorca explored its ruins during childhood, later referencing the location as Soto de Roma in his classic work, The House of Bernarda Alba.
