Torre de Mangana

Cute tower with nice views

Iconic tower with stunning views all around. It is set in a modern square which is badly in need of some TLC and renovation.

One of only three places in the old Casco to get great views of the river, the old city and the surrounding hills. There is a museum downstairs, and a lift to access the terrace under the clock tower, so it is easy to get to it.

Historically, it served as a watchtower and has been mentioned in records since the 16th century. Over the centuries, it underwent several modifications, with a major transformation in 1926 in the Neo-Mudéjar style. Its current form was finalized in 1968. It is a heritage site that reflects a blend of historical elements and modern restoration efforts.

Too bad it is not possible to climb it! Looks very nice from outside though

You can see very nice and a different angle of Cuenca. Many people just pass by this place but it is worth to stop by.

Magnificent structure! Great sight of the city!

Great viewing point to get a perfect view of the city.
