An albarrana tower (Arabic: البراني, romanized: al-barrānī, lit. 'exterior') is a defensive tower detached from the curtain wall and connected to it by a bridge or an arcade.[1] They were built by Muslims when they occupied the Iberian Peninsula between the 8th and the 15th centuries, especially from the 12th century during the Almohad dynasty and mainly in the south of Spain and Portugal where the Islamic influence was the longest. In Spanish, they are called torre albarrana.[1]
