According to some authors, the torres- atalaya of the area of Orcera and Segura of the Sierra must be reconsidered and dated again as coming from the time of Carthaginese domination of the peninsula, between the years 237 and 202 before Christ, for being quoted in Tito Livio asTowers of Anibal, being in one of them where one of the Scipion brothers died in the warrior refriegas of 211 BC This hypothesis must be taken into account and confronted by the specialists of ancient history of Spain, but in no case can it be held seriously that they are only medieval, Islamic, Almohade or Christian. Its origin, although in medieval times they were the subject of partial restorations or reconstructions, possibly from the third century BC, between the years cited and in the occasion of the wars between Rome and Cartago for the possession of the peninsula.

This tower is a twin of the tower of Santa Catalina II, it seems to be a Muslim work of the late 12th or early 13th century and its function would be to monitor the intricate landscape of hills surrounding them.

Its quadrangular plant measures about 5.30 by 4.20 meters from sides, its height of about 14 meters, the thickness of its walls on the ground is 1.19 meters, and the access gap is about 7 meters high. Its interior is organized in 4 plants separated by beams that supported the zócalos resulting from the progressive narrowing of the walls.

In the back there is a single safetiere set at high height to illuminate the snail staircase that gives access to a terrace. The only inner stay is covered with a shell vault.

Despite the fact that in the 1960s its upper part was decoupled to the level of the surrounding houses, some of which have been joined by two of its sides, it arouses a great interest not only for its own architectural typology but also for the medieval urban scenography it reproduces in the center of the municipality.

On the surface of the plateau there are traces of ancient fortification, possibly a Roman fortress or ibera linked to Oretania.

In the middle of the S. IX, an Arab fortification was built in Sorihuela to defend the left margin of Guadalquivir and as the advance of the Guadalimar River.

In 1235 Fernando III conquered Sorihuela, a small Arab house, giving it as a service to the infant Mr Sancho, Bishop of Toledo, as part of the advance of Cazorla and border to the Muslims. Sorihuela was soon revalued for its proximity to the Montizón road that was communicating Sierra Morena with Castile.

The tower of Tribute was ordered to be built by the Toledo archbishops at the end of the 13th century, taking advantage of the primitive structure of the small medieval castle. This tower guaranteed that the advance would receive the rent of the marzadga that all the inhabitants were to pay to the Archbishopric for their belonging to the Lordship of Toledo as well as the tribute of the plumbing paid by those who intended to free themselves from the service of weapons.

Even at the end of the 16th century he was occupied by a guardian dependent on the warden of Iznatoraf.

The tower of tribute is square of regular masonry placed with yarn and chains on the corners of silery, ready to rope and sawn. The plant has 9.4 meters of side and 13.7 to the almond parapet.

Its construction was to be carried out between the 13th and 14th centuries and over time it was joined by houses of little entity that distorted its image. In 1987 the Cultural delegation of the Junta de Andalucía, in view of its state of advanced deterioration, carried out a restoration for the emergency procedure led by the architect Luis Carlos Gutiérrez Calatrava, which was modelic in terms of its rigor and treatment: consolidation of vaults and construction of roof for the evacuation of water, repair of external and interior locks, replacement of parts and outdoor carpentry and conditioning of the exterior and areas of access.

It was declared Good of Cultural Interest in 1985

It's a square-floor turret. The construction in 1883 of this bell tower, in which new techniques of work with cast iron were used and a new public watch was installed, was a symbol of modernity that reflected the influence of the industrial revolution that was taking place at the national level.

At the end of the 19th century, Albanchez lives a period of expansion thanks to the agriculture of the olive tree, doubling the population.

The iron inscription of the watch reads:

"Coised with municipal funds being mayor Don Sebastian Ogayar León Year 1883".

The tower is square and starts from a zocalo. The whole factory is a bartender. Of its two bodies, the first has twice its height and in it is opened a half-point arch with pillows. On this door a flask window opens that gives light to its interior and is repeated on the other three sides. A triple molding separates the first from the second body, in which the clock appears, a small square window and docile pilasters at the ends. On the ledge there is an artisan iron structure, added in 1884 to house the bell and the veleta. In the 18th century the hours were marked by the bells of the churches. To raise a municipal tower with the sole function of indicating the hours was unusual at the time and symbolizes the confrontation between the civil and ecclesiastical powers that stars the reign of Charles III.
