Mangana Tower
Torre de Mangana
The landmark clock tower at the southern end of the Old Town, with the square beneath it serving as an open viewpoint over the Júcar gorge and the New Town.
The tower stands on the site of a former Arab fortress and has served as the city's clock tower since the 16th century. The current form is the result of a 20th-century restoration. The Mangana Square beneath it is an open viewing platform, with views of the Júcar River gorge and the New Town below, as well as the layered houses of the Old Town. The tower itself is not open for climbing, but it can be visited on the way while touring the main square.
