Torre de Belén

The Torre de Belén (literally: Bethlehem Tower) is located in the San Basilio neighbourhood of Córdoba, Spain.

It forms part of the Historic centre of Córdoba, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

[1] The tower is a fine example of a former defensive gate providing access to a walled enclosure.

Built of limestone ashlar blocks, arranged in alternating layers of headers and stretchers, it is accessed through two doors at right angles to each other.

From the first floor, the city walls can be accessed through rounded arches to the north and south.
