casa torre
Hi all!
Actually my text is about dating wood samples so it's not very helpful as context. However, the region is the Basque Country and the particular "casa torre" is in Alava:
"Asimismo se está trabajando in la elaboración de un proyecto cuyo objectivo es el muestreo de las **casas torre**de Alava, cuya chronología se remonta al siglo XIII."
Should I leave it in Spanish or is there a standard translation of this? Zillions of G-hits for "casa torre", but mostly in the tourist context and not translated as far as I can see.

Comment: "I chose this one as I felt Charlotte's "turreted" might be a little too specific. Thanks!"

a suggestion for you. Could also be tower-shaped houses.
