Torres de Auençala was a rural castle located in the west of Jaén. This type of settlement consisted of a fortified perimeter and small tower. This site belonged to the kingdom of Alfonso X (thirteenth century). Today the site is known as Torre Venzalá and is located in Torredonjimeno.

Is the Castillo de Torre Venzala extant? It is not obvious from the OGM geometry or from the summary provided.
