Alminar adosado a la iglesia de mismo nombre, restaurado y que ha quedado en buen estado. Parece datar de entre los siglos IX-X y solo conserva de su estructura el primer cuerpo. Quizá sus arcos en forma de herradura, también claramente reformados sean los elementos más destacados de este edificio. En las inmediaciones encontramos varios cartel informativos con datos del edificio, además de los momentos de restauración que sufrió con el paso de los años de manera detallada. Es uno de los cuatro alminares que encontramos en España declarados Bien de Interés Cultural.

Visitando la Iglesia de San Juan en un lateral vimos un alminar que llama poderosamente la atención, al conservar casi íntegramente su fisonomía árabe del siglo X, este alminar es una torre perteneciente a una antigua mezquita de la época emiral-califal, De planta cuadrada y sillares, lo más llamativo son los arcos gemelos de herradura con columnas de mármol que decoran la torre. A pesar del deterioro que presenta, es, tras la Mezquita, el mejor exponente de arte califal conservado en la ciudad. Este alminar tiene varios títulos: está declarado como Bien de interés Cultural, enmarcado como Monumento histórico-artístico desde 193, además de encontrarse en el centro histórico de la ciudad declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco. Todo un honor haberlo visto y fotografiado.
