A long tower in the old town
Nov 2022 • Friends
Torre Mañana is a long tower located in a high point in the old town of Cuenca, a city in Castilla-la-Mancha Region. It was built in the 16th Century and it was remodelled in the 20th Century. Nowadays you can go to the base of the tower and see it. We came here at night and it was lighted. It is a nice building in the old town.

Medieval Cuenca
Mar 2023
Cuenca is a beautiful medieval town, just an hour away from Madrid by fast train. If you go you should arrange for a guided tour, which are inexpensive, and leave from the old City Hall. Without this help we would have wandered aimlessly. One cautionary note; we went in early March, and it was very cold, so dress warmly for the mountains. Lunch at the Parador, a former monastery, is also highly recommended; it's a beautiful room, the former chapel, with wonderful service and food.

Huge Clock Tower
Sep 2021
This tall clock tower sits in the old Muslim section of the city and dominates the skyline in that area. It's worth stopping to see.

Medieval tower in the Jewish Quarter
Aug 2021
A medieval clock tower look into the Jewish quarter of the city. It's a very interesting walk and you see very old buildings and get a real feel of the town from this area.

Open air plaza
Feb 2020 • Couples
You will see the clock tower here in the open air plaza. The lower part of the city can also be seen from the viewing balcony.

There are also many remains of ruins from the different historical buildings here in the past.

Unsympathetic architecture
Oct 2019 • Friends
Not much to say about this. The history that has been entombed below, is sufficiently obscured by steel I-beams, dirty windows and ducting, that it's not worth much more than a glance on the way to the car park.

Poor, unsympathetic architecture makes the space look incomplete and the concerns of earlier reviewers realised.

In an area being developed
Sep 2019 • Couples
The tower is interesting to see but is in the middle of a historic area which is currently being developed. It is part of an ancient Jewish and Muslim site with various stone remains being preserved. I imagine it will be quite something when it's complete

Mangana tower
Nov 2017 • Solo
It is uncertain when Mangana tower was originally built, because it appears in the evidented history just recently, in 1565 as a detail on the painting. But it is certain that fortress system, upon which tower is raised, is of Arabic origin and served as southern entrance area to Arabic fortress-town of Kunka. Perhaps it was abandoned when Castillan rulers expanded Cuenca further south, with Lower town which was defended by new set of walls and gates and from then losing its function. Fortified site was destroyed in wars, earthquakes and even thunderbolts throughout history and apperance of Mangana tower of today (as a bell tower) owns to its renovations from 20th century, in years 1926 and 1968.

In general, if you are not tight in time it is nice to visit this location, but if you`re busy in exploring restaurats, churches, museums or with hiking around Cuenca do not bother to visit (fortified site could be also conserved a little better). Although, Mangana tower would be great attraction if climbing on top to enjoy the views, was allowed.
