The Torrekua house is a square-plan building with a roof that extends to all four sides. It is located at the end of the town and is the head of the buildings. It protected a gate to the town from there.

The main facade is made of sandstone masonry. The other two are made of stone walls. One was part of the wall that enclosed the town. It is elongated and all the gaps were opened later. The main facade also has two shafts filled with gaps and were opened later, so they are not of much interest. Among the original openings, it is worth noting the pointed arch entrance with the inscription IHS (Iesus Homine Salvator – Jesus the Savior) at the base. Another similar access opens on the first floor. It is narrower and is currently blocked. It was reached by an external stone staircase. Today, its profile can be clearly seen on the wall. On the first floor, there are two blinded twin windows, made up of three lobes and without ajimez. The end is a simple wooden eaves. On the left, the walls extend forward where the town gate should have been. On the front, it has a modillon. One side is crudely carved.
