Badum Tower, Fortified tower in Peníscola, Spain
The cylindrical stone structure stands 11 meters tall with a diameter of 5.75 meters, positioned on a cliff 97 meters above the Mediterranean Sea.
Built during the Arab period, the tower formed part of a coastal defense network that used smoke signals to warn Peníscola's inhabitants of approaching maritime threats.
The tower displays the Kingdom of Valencia coat of arms with a double-headed eagle dating from Charles I's reign on its exterior walls.
Access to the tower requires reaching a window entrance located 6 meters above ground level, as the structure was built without ground-level doors.
The tower sits at the second-highest cliff point in Valencia region, offering visibility across 15 kilometers of coastline with coves and marine reefs.
