Torre de la Foradada
Spain, Spain
Torre de la Foradada is a historic 16th-century watchtower located on Punta de la Horadada, a rocky promontory in Torre de la Horadada, a coastal town in Alicante province on Spain's southeastern Mediterranean shore bordering Murcia.
Built in 1591 under King Philip II as part of a coastal defense network against pirate raids, it enabled signal fires to alert nearby villages of approaching threats.
Recognized as a cultural heritage site since 1995, the sturdy structure with battlements now stands beside a private residence, overlooking popular beaches like Playa del Puerto and Playa del Conde, blending maritime history with modern seaside appeal.
