The Torre de San Martín (English: St. Martin's Tower) is a medieval structure in

UNESCO Heritage List
in 1986 together with other Mudéjar structures in Teruel.

The tower was built between in 1315 and 1316. In 1550 its lower section was restored due to the erosion caused by humidity. Like other structures in Teruel, it is a

gate-tower decorated with ceramic glaze. The road passes through an ogival arch. The tower takes its names from the annexed church of St. Martin, dating to the Baroque
period.

The tower follows the scheme of the

cross vaults
.
