Tower of the church of San Martín de Tours, Torrellas

The Mudejar tower of the church of San Martín de Tours in Torrellas was built in two phases: from 1540 to 1550 the section up to the belfry was erected, and the upper section was completed around 1580. This austere, simply built tower is attached to one of the corners of the ancient Romanesque church. The church has three naves with three bays each, along with three chapels built into the flat east end wall of the apse in varying sizes and arrangements.

The tower of San Martín de Tours in Torrellas is octagonal in shape and the interior has a Caliphal minaret structure, with a cylindrical central buttress around which a spiral staircase ascends, covered by an overhanging brick vault. On the exterior, it appears highly stylized due to its pronounced verticality. The tower is divided into three sections by means of light-weight impost moldings and its simple decorative work is more aligned with the Renaissance style that had a heavy influence at that time than with the Mudejar style properly speaking.

The lower section of the tower, the oldest part, has smooth walls lacking any ornamentation except at the top, where there is a row of recessed box shapes. The second section is divided into two parts: the lower part has decorative brick detail work featuring two strips of simple and staggered angled bricks with a line of triangles between them while the upper part has double round-arched openings on each side, topped by an arcade of small blind round arches with a double impost molding featuring strips of angled bricks in between. The two parts can be distinguished by their round arches, blind in the lower part and open, with double arches, in the upper part.
