Turre is a municipality of Almería province, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain.

Demographics

History of Turre Turre was originally a Moorish settlement created after the invading Christian armies of the Catholic Monarchs expelled the Moors from the nearby village of Mojacar in 1488. It was originally called Turris, after the Latin for "tower", probably because there was a watchtower at the location of the new settlement. See also List of municipalities in Almería
