Rising above the shimmering salt ponds of Bras del Port, this historic watchtower once served as a key defensive outpost against pirate raids along Spain’s southeastern coast. Constructed in the 16th century, it offers a glimpse into the region’s maritime past while providing a picturesque vantage point over the salty wetlands and nearby Mediterranean waters. Though not always open to the public, visitors can still admire its sturdy stone walls and strategic placement from the surrounding grounds. Photographers and nature lovers will appreciate the unique contrast of aging architecture set against vibrant pink-hued salt flats and the abundant birdlife, including graceful flamingos.
