Torre del Clavero

The Clavero Tower is one of the most typical and well-known monuments in the city of Salamanca. It was declared a national monument on 3 June 1931.

Rest of the manor house of the Clavero de la Orden de Alcántara. It combines the interest of the military fortress and the constructive beauty of the 15th century. The tower has a square floor plan with a height of 28 metres. At about 20 metres the tower takes on an octagonal shape, adorned on each side with a semi-cylindrical drum crowned by a coat of arms.

The Clavero tower is beautiful and graceful in its lines, with its octagonal windows loaded with sentry boxes, its irregular openings, its cornice of arches and modillions and its coats of arms of the Sotomayor and Anaya families, raise the question of whether it was built by order of Don Francisco de Sotomayor, clavero of the Order of Alcántara, in 1470, or by Don Fray Diego de Anaya.
