La Torre de Entrerríos, también llamada Torre de Entre Ríos, Torre de Palmones o Torre de Guadarranque, es una torre almenara situada entre los ríos Palmones y Guadarranque, de donde toma sus nombres, en el término municipal de Los Barrios, en la provincia de Cádiz^[1] (España). Actualmente la construcción se encuentra en buen estado de conservación en el interior del denominado Parque de la Torre de aproximadamente 9000 m² en la barriada de Palmones.^[2] Esta torre tenía la función de controlar un amplio tramo de costa de la Bahía de Algeciras y formaba parte del sistema defensivo del Estrecho de Gibraltar. Se considera construida en el siglo XVI dentro del plan de vigilancia costera de Felipe II destinado a la defensa frente a piratas berberiscos, concretamente se supone edificada entre 1585 y 1588 a instancias de Luis Bravo de Laguna siguiendo el diseño de la cercana Torre del Rocadillo.^[3] Sin embargo varios investigadores atendiendo a su tipología, fundamentalmente su planta cuadrada, apuntan a un origen anterior posiblemente ligado a otras construcciones medievales de la zona realizadas por los benimerines.^[4]
