Torre de la Inquisición - Córdoba, Andalucía, España - Octagon Buildings on Waymarking.com

"The so-called tower of the Inquisition, also known as the Torre de los Jardines, located to the southwest and with a circular plan, is later than all the other towers of the Alcázar. It was rebuilt during the reign of Henry IV in the 15th century, probably on the foundations of a previous tower, with a different physiognomy.

On the outside it presents rope and brick ashlars, crowned with an octagonal prismatic brick body. Inside it has three floors with rooms covered with semi-circular brick domes. This tower served as an archive for the Court of the Holy Inquisition for centuries, storing valuable documents inside."
