Torre de la Malmuerta

The Torre de la Malmuerta is a gate tower of the Axerquía wall in Córdoba, Spain.

This albarrana tower was built in 1406–1408, by order of King Henry III of Castile, over a pre-existing Almohad structure, to defend the gates of Rincón and Colodro.

Having an octagonal plan, the tower has an annexed arch.

The names, meaning "Tower of the Wrongly Dead Woman", refers to a woman who, according to a legend, was killed here by her husband after a false accusation of adultery.
