Torre de Canyamel, Medieval defense tower in Capdepera, Spain.
The Torre de Canyamel stands 23 meters tall with a square base and three distinct floors connected by interior stone staircases.
Built in 1237 by the Montsó family, this tower served as a strategic defense point against pirate raids along the Mallorcan coastline.
The first floor houses an ethnographic exhibition displaying military artifacts, including ceramics and weaponry from different historical periods.
Visitors can access the tower via the MA-4042 road between Artá and Canyamel, with guided tours available by contacting +34 971841134.
Each of the three floors maintains its original Gothic architectural elements, from the ground-level documentary space to the panoramic observation deck.
