Mas de Tena is a fortified farmhouse, or masia fortificada, located in Vilafranca del Cid, Spain, built in the Islamic architectural tradition. The structure combines the practical form of a rural defensive tower with the domestic functions of a traditional masia dwelling, reflecting the complex cultural and military history of medieval Iberia. Designated as a bien de interés cultural (cultural property of interest), it stands as a testament to the architectural practices and settlement patterns of Islamic Spain.
