Torre Escaletes Santa Pola

Santa Pola, Spain, Spain

Torre Escaletes, also called Torre d'Escaletes or Torre i Pep, is a 16th-century circular coastal watchtower in Santa Pola, Alicante province, Valencian Community, Spain, perched high above the town on Cabo de Santa Pola.

Measuring about 10 meters in diameter and 8 meters tall with masonry construction, sloping walls, and machicolations, it scanned the Mediterranean horizon for enemy ships, signaling threats via smoke or fire to the nearby Castillo-Fortaleza de Santa Pola and Torre Atalayola as part of the anti-pirate defense network.

Its photogenic silhouette against the sea, ancient inscription on the access door, and rugged coastal setting make it a popular landmark for visitors exploring Santa Pola's rich maritime heritage.
