The Torre de San Martín is a medieval bell tower in Teruel, Aragon, built in Aragonese Mudéjar style between 1315 and 1316. The structure exemplifies the characteristic gate-tower form of Teruel's heritage, featuring ceramic glaze decoration and an ogival arch through which the road passes. Its design follows the scheme of Almohad minarets, comprising two concentric square towers with stairs between them, while the inner tower contains three floors covered with cross vaults. The tower underwent restoration of its lower section in 1550 to address humidity damage. An annexed Baroque church dedicated to St. Martin stands adjacent to the tower. In 1986, both the Torre de San Martín and other Mudéjar structures in Teruel were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
