Torreón occidental (Western tower) Puente de Alcántara
Toledo, September 2022
“During the reign of Alfonso X of Castile it suffered serious damage and was rebuilt. The western tower belongs to this period, later decorated under the reign of the Catholic Monarchs, whose arms decorate its walls. The fruit of the pomegranate (the emblem of Granada) is missing from them, because the Reconquista had not finished at that time.” (Puente de Alcántara, Wikipedia)
