The only minaret that has survived intact to the present day was built at the end of the 10th or beginning of the 11th century. It belonged to a neighbourhood mosque which, after the Christian conquest, was ceded by King Ferdinand III "the Saint" to the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem (currently the school of the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart).
The minaret took on a new function as a bell tower. Only the first section remains. Like the minaret of Santa Clara, it had a circular staircase that revolved around a central machon. On the outside, the remains of the original twin windows can still be seen, as well as the blind arches of the first section and the marble columns. The entrance door to the minaret, located on the southeast side, has also been preserved.
