Torre de San Miguel, Fortified military tower in Cabo de Gata, Almería, Spain.
The 18th-century conical tower consists of two floors and a rooftop terrace, built with stone materials typical of Spanish coastal fortifications.
Construction began on March 29, 1756, under King Fernando VI's orders to defend La Almadraba de Monteleva settlement and its salt production facilities.
The tower received the status of Cultural Heritage Site in 1985, marking its importance in the regional military and architectural heritage.
The structure will house a tourist information office on the ground floor and cultural exhibitions on the upper level following renovation plans.
The rooftop will feature telescopes and information panels for visitors to observe the natural surroundings of Cabo de Gata.
