St Vincent’s Tower, an Icon of Coastal Defence
The Tower of San Vicente, built in the 16th century, was part of a network of coastal watchtowers that stretched along the Mediterranean coast. Its main function was to detect and defend against pirate and corsair attacks that threatened the coasts of the region at the time. This tower stands majestically on the coastline, offering panoramic views of the sea and the beach, making it a strategic place for defence.
