    The optical telegraphy network that connected Madrid with Valencia was made up of several towers that today are a symbol of that time and that, as they are strategically located, offer beautiful views of their surroundings.

    The Cuenca Optical Telegraph Tower was part of the historic communication line between Madrid and Valencia, built in the 19th century. Although no specific tower remains within the urban area of Cuenca, there are references to nearby towers that were visually connected to others in the province.
