The Mangana tower is a building in the Spanish city of Cuenca, with the status of an asset of cultural interest. As a monument with a long history, it has had several modifications over time.

The first tower of Mangana had a square plan, and is known thanks to the painter Antón Wyngaerde; Although in the drawing that he left of it (1565) the cross and the iron weather vane do not appear that, in 1532, the rejero Esteban Limosín put on the spire that closed the tower, and that was covered with tin.

The lightning strike at the end of the 18th century and the arrival of the French at the beginning of the 19th century led to the intervention of the architect Mateo López, who dealt with repairing the significant damage that the tower had suffered due to these two events.

During the second half of the 19th century, it was decided to change the top of the tower; which, despite the restorations, we know that in 1862 it was in a terrible state.

In 1926, the appearance of the tower changed notably, with the renovation that the architect Fernando Alcántara carried out in a neo-Mudejar style, alien to the monument. He removed the spire and, in its place, put a small body of bells, square in plan, which he covered with a dome. The walls were covered with rich and colorful plaster decoration, inspired by Islamic motifs, mainly North African; while the stepped battlements that topped the tower refer us to the Cordoba mosque.

But this picturesque and exotic neo-Mudejar tower would not be the definitive one: Mangana was once again remodeled in 1970. With this restoration it was intended, as stated in the project's memory, to dignify a tower that, although it could not be considered a An artistic monument of the first order, it had great importance for Cuenca, as it had become one of its symbols.
